I’m excited to announce that I’ve started blogging periodically for the Huffington Post, mostly for their Impact section.

The first article was prompted by my recent visit to Argentina, where I took two students I mentor to speak at the largest TEDx event in the world – TEDxBuenosAires.

I’ve since written about a new Creative Activist Toolkit I wrote as well as the Games for Change Festival in New York.

All articles will be posted here in the Articles section. Please go to Huffington Post and follow me there.

I’m happy to see that the World Bank‘s Development Marketplace has prominently featured my toolkits in its Toolkits section.

Development Marketplace provides funding for early stage social entrepreneurs and has given away millions of dollars to ore than 200 organizations through its global competitions.

The toolkits are part of the support the Development Marketplace provides its winners to help them achieve greater impact and sustainability.

You can see the toolkits on their site here.

INTERVIEW: Toolkit on Change.org

I semi-officially unveiled the Creative Activist Toolkit today with an interview on Change.org. Technically we’re still in “beta” but it’s good to test the waters with our initial chapters.

It’s already getting a good response but I look forward to additional feedback in the weeks ahead.

Youth can offer so much in terms of great ideas and positive action, but are often dismissed as being “kids.” How can we as a society best serve and cultivate their potential?

Don’t talk down to them. Young people truly want to make a real difference in the world. Let’s not confine them to bake sales and car washes. Let’s help them innovate solutions and create tangible outcomes.

We should do all we can to help youth get better at creating change. To quote Kathy Sierra: “People can’t be passionate about things they suck at.” So the better young people are at creating change, the more passionate they will be.

And we need them to be passionate. The future they face – we all face – demands nothing less.
