Since my TEDx talk was released, I have been receiving lots of emails from people wanting to learn how to implement the ideas I shared. I’ve also been hearing from humane educators and groups doing fantastic work across the globe. For my next several blog posts, I wanted to share some of their great work.

Imagine a week-long summer camp for 12-17-year-olds who want to make a difference. Imagine a beautiful setting in either Portland, Oregon, or Santa Cruz, California. Imagine how these young people might become inspired and engaged in just one week to become lifelong solutionaries for a better world.

It’s happening. Youth Empowered Action (YEA) Camps are offered three times this summer in July and August.

This is exciting Zoe! Thanks for this information. I will be continuing to investigate this group and see if I can get involved in Portland this year. Thanks so much for sharing this information and how to put HUMANE EDUCATION into ACTION.
