It appears that Educate!, which I’ve talked so much about, is getting some much deserved national recognition.
Educate!’s founder, Eric Glustrom (who founded the organization when he was only 17-years old), will be on the CBS Early Show, tomorrow morning.
Congrats to Eric and everyone at Educate!.
Also, be sure to check out what Educate! is all about, and if you like what you see, remember to vote for Eric to win a $100,000 prize from DoSomething.org to go towards the new initiative being implemented by Educate!.

I know I’ve mentioned Educate! a few times, and there’s good reason. Educate! is an awesome organization using culturally relevant social enterprise projects to empower students in Uganda to be leaders for their community. You can check out what I’ve said about them before, here.
Well, I’m mentioning them again because, now, Eric, the founder, is up for a $100,000 reward from DoSomething.org to go towards Educate!’s goal empowering a new generation of social leaders.
All I’m asking is that you check out more of what Educate! is all about. If you feel like they’re doing good work, vote for them. If not, don’t.
I mean, it should count for something that I’m so behind them as an organization. I think I’ve made it pretty clear how vocally critical I can be of many members of civil society. I’m looking at you, IC.

Exponential Empowerment (via EducateAfrica)
Educate! works to directly address the most fundamental challenge facing Africa: the lack of socially responsible leadership across diverse sectors of society.
We run a two-year program for high school students, or Educate! Scholars, in Uganda called the Educate! Experience.
Ugandan Mentors who go through a rigorous selection and training process are placed at partner schools to lead Scholars through the Experience.
