P.S. You can also help by spreading the word about YouthNOISE to your friends, parents, and teachers. Let us know if you come up with ideas of how to help us.

I suppose that youthnoise has helped me in the way of altering my perspective, in helping me to understand the America of today, rather than the America portrayed on films imported to England. I have realised the diversitry and analyzed the problems of Americas youth, in my own mind at least, and I think this could be exceptionally valuable for the future. I now also have become an active member of a variety of school commitees for dealing with charity work and how to promote it.

I am a quiet person...very shy at times, and Youthnoise has helped me to grow first in a silent way, and then to my community.After watching a documentary on CNN about the drought in Kenya, I decided to help out, and brought up DEFEATING HUNGER, a campaign to help out the hungry. So far, we've raised $400 only...we are a small school. I hope to get more people to donate money to the WFP (World Food Program)- a branch of the U.N. Thank-you- you've made a difference in not only other lives, but mine as well!

Youthnoise has given me many ideas on places to volunteer and many ways to volunteer.

Even before I joined Youth Noise, I've been a volunteer in school, in the Church and in communities. My perspective then was simply to know a lot, make friends and enjoy helping. Yet after I joined Youth Noise, my perspective improved and I am not simply there to help people... I condition myself to change the world. This is something that I have never seen tangible before, as only the television allowed me to move out of my comfort zones and help out. Now, I know that I can make a difference not only to a small community but also to the entire world. After I joined Youth Noise, I still went through my volunteer activities... I still went on with teaching kids, but this time, I employed what I learned from this website. I was also featured on TV recently. I am now being groomed to form and lead a Youth Ministry as well... managed and participated by young people which shows how the we can change the world. c",?

before starting youthnoise, i didn't really send any emails or anything to state senators or anything. now i have sent numorous. thanks youthnoise!!!!!!!!!!!!

Youth noise helped me realize what going on in the world today. They offer GREAT possibilities on what I can do in my community as well. Thanks to Youth Noise, instead of just complaining how things need to be, I'm planning ways to make them better!

youth noise has helped me realize the problems with todays society and how to help fix them. also helped my be more outgoing opinionated and open minded. It has made me come out of my shell. And gave me the chance to meet new diverse ppl.

youth noise helped me realized that i can do so much in my neighbor-hood i can even help on the computer it should me that you can make a difference weather your helping a group or one person so thank you alot youth noise

I waslooking for places to volunteer becuase I am entering a contest where the more you places you volunteer, the better. So I came here, became a member, and I am really looking forward to helping others out by using what I learned on this site!!!

YouthNoise has made me realize how much I can do. I'm very quiet and I don't like rallies and things but if it helps feed the homeless then I don't mind speaking out. I tell everyone about YouthNoise because I think it's an incredible and impacting website. I love it.

YouthNoise has made me more aware of whats going on around the country, and world and I've heard all sorts of different views on things, instead of just what's on the news or what my family says. I've met some really cool people as well, me and someone I met on here are actually thinking of starting some sort of youth organisation.

I have always been somewhat active in helping needy people and our environment, but I never had a lot of good ideas. youthNOISE has given me a lot of good ideas on ways to get more involved with the issues I care about. Thanks youthNOISE!

i think youth noise has helped me by giving me a chance to find my own way of helping my community and learning all at the same time. Without it i would not find as many volunteer programs as i can know find.

Youthnoise has helped me in many ways like I have met new friends, helped more people in my community, and it has showed me how helping people can be so much fun! I love how youthnoise helps people and how it has really helped me! Thank you so much Youthnoise!

Thanks to Youth Noice I realized that I can help change the world. I have learned that nothing is accomplished if you dont take action. YN also showed me some great volunteer oppurtunities. I can't wait till I help someone that's in need. Thanks Youth Noice I couldn't have done it without you!

well ... i am kinda new to this site.....
but i love to help out and take action but it's not always true ......
but this site really taught me to never give up
don't feel bad about something but make it better

youthnoise has really helped me think of a lot of ways to help my community and has inspired me to do things for people other than myself

Youthnoise is new to me really. I just found out about this site. I love to get involved and help people. It has made me realize that I am not the only one who wants to make a difference. It makes me want to work harder. I enjoy this stuff. A smile on someone in need is great to see. Especially if I am the one who put it there. Best feeling ever!

I like youthnoise because it opened me to possibilties.. I didn't like voluntering because I thought it was boring. Now I found out it's fun and that there was alot of people like me.... thanks youthnoise!
