Young People Who Rock

April 23, 2008
(CNN) Anchor Nicole Lapin interviews young people under 30 who are making a difference in communities. "Young people who rock," is a blog that has a new interview every Friday with someone who is choosing to participate. Students share their stories and how they became inspired to change something. 
Discussion Questions: 
  • What are different ways individuals and groups choose to participate in the civic life of their community? What motivates people to take action to make the world a better place?
  • When you see a problem in your community, how do you decide whether or not to get involved? When you’ve decided you want to get involved, how do you know what to do?
