The LEAGUE educates, equips and empowers young people to strengthen their communities by giving thoughtfully and passionately of their time, talent and treasure. Part of that process is enabling young people to tell their own stories of service and volunteerism and allowing them to tell the stories of others who have positively impacted civil society through their acts of philanthropy. These media pages are designed to facilitate that storytelling so that others will be inspired to civic engagement for the common good.

It is not necessary for an educational experience to be entertaining, but ideally it should be interesting. When students are given the opportunity to write about things for which they have profound feelings, writing can become a rewarding and interesting experience.
