Do Something!


What It's All About:
"Do Something" believes youth have the power to make a difference. It is their aim to inspire, support and celebrate a generation of doers: people who see the need to do something, believe in their ability to get it done, and then take action. DoSomething.org provides the tools and resources for you to convert your ideas and energy into positive action. Be part of a generation of doers.
Five guidelines the DO SOMETHING team lives by:
1. Believe in teenagers. Teenagers can lead today. We don't require adults.
2. Trust teenagers. We provide reliable, easy to access information and activation strategies, but teens decide for themselves what to do.
3. Celebrate teenagers. We think all measurable contributions from teens are valuable.
4. Respect teenagers. We understand that teenagers have diverse abilities and constraints.
5. Value teenagers. Our programs and products are free. We're not after teens' money; we want their passion, time and creativity.

ALAE4-HA Program Highlights


During the recent Alabama Association of Extension 4-H Agents Annual Meeting in beautiful Selma, Alabama, the program committee got together with the desire to create a blog that would be beneficial to 4-H Agents and Agent Assistants across the state of Alabama. This is that blog!

It is our vision to update this blog with thoughts, ideas, and programs that we can all utilize as we endeavor to make Alabama's Best...Better. Please be sure to leave your comments and suggestions on this blog. You may also feel free to contact any of the ALAE4-HA Program Committee Members:
