iSpot Compassion

Thursday, April 8th, 2010

iSpot Compassion’s mission is to ignite the power of young people to create a more compassionate world and to achieve greater personal success through meaningful community service.

iSpot as the following broad goals:
1.)    Help teens build self-confidence3 as they see that their individual and collective community service projects can have a positive, direct impact on communities;
2.)    Raise awareness among teens about issues and people outside their own immediate experience thus enhancing their ability to identify and creatively address emerging community needs
3.)    Empower teens to connect with the nonprofit sector as strategic partners; and
4.)    Engage and encourage parents, educators and other adults to support the community service efforts of young people

Lasting social change must include and be led by the next generation: the Compassion Generation. Consistent with this ideal, iSpot Compassion has developed a systemic plan that deepens and expands the positive impact of teens from diverse socio-economic and educational backgrounds. iSpot turns community service into a meaningful, fun and transformative experience helping teens develop habits that will last a lifetime and reinvigorating faith in their power to make the world a better place.

Be sure to ask us how teens come together to make the world a better place.
