Sir Richard Branson, The Bravery, and Volunteerism at the Virgin Mobile Freefest

http://thevoluntour.org/

Volunteers are awarded a trip to the Virgin Mobile Freefest, a music festival raising money and awareness for youth homelessness. Sir Richard Branson of Virgin encourages social change and activism during this time of economic challenges.

Attendees donate money and time towards homeless youth for entry into the free festival. Virgin Unite focuses on the cause by benefiting StandUp For Kids, Sasha Bruce Youthwork, Bridge Over Troubled Waters, and other organizations.

This video follows the journey of two volunteers whose service and generosity led to a free trip across the country to see bands such as:

-Blink 182 (http://awe.sm/26yo)
-Weezer (http://awe.sm/26yu)
-Franz Ferdinand (http://awe.sm/26z2)
-The Bravery
-Public Enemy, and more.

The youth are our future...we create the change we want to see!

@GenWhyMovie it's great that you feel that way. More than ever, we're at a time where a generation of people are able to invent and manifest their own future. it's uncanny.

Volunteerism is good. Better than sitting back and moaning is to get up and get busy. Either your conviction will carry you or you will lose heart during the difficult time.

Great test.

Great video.

And, if Sir Richard ever wants to go skydiving and has an extra seat or spot on the balloon, I'll bring my rig.

Blue skies!

Free is good.

Awesome man I never knew all you had to do to get a ticket was to volunteer. Sounded like a lot of fun.
