A movement is sweeping across the country. Young people in partnership with adults are bringing innovative changes to their communities. Youth are showing how they are leaders today, and for the future. This documentary is about a group of energetic young people and adults who are working together to improve the decaying school system in Benton Harbor, MI. Their story inspires us all to get involved and do more. The Innovation Center for Community and Youth Development and the W.K. Kellogg Foundation are currently supporting five sites across the country in doing this exciting work.

Everybody Can Be Great, Because Everybody Can Serve!

These are the words that were conveyed to over 250 volunteers during the United Way and Hands On Central Texas MLK Day of Service celebration on January 19, 2008.

The celebration started with a kick-off event at Huston-Tillotson University that reflected on Reverend Martin Luther King's dream toward racial equality, economic justice and his commitment for nonviolence.

Reverend Joseph Parker of David Chapel Missionary Baptist Church delivered the keynote address sharing his personal memories, as a young man in Birmingham, Alabama, of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
