#437: Interns and Volunteers: Giving and Getting Back

Hosted by In the Mix interns, this program looks at various ways teens can gain valuable skills and a head start on careers while making a positive difference in the world. We meet teens volunteering at Youthline, a hotline for their peers; teens who started a mentoring program in their neighborhood, and teen environmental activists who cleaned up their beach. We also take an ambulance ride with an amazing group of teens and lifesaving EMTs, and we see how other teens build a house on their spring break. Plus, the winner of a scholarship award and a teen intern at Polygram Records who designs album covers share their experiences. They all give their time to help others, but they also get back much more in experience and self-esteem. The sincerity of the volunteers and the interviewers are genuine and appealing. The visuals are hip and quick moving. An excellent choice for all schools, community groups and individual teens who are thinking about doing volunteer work. School Library Journal *DVDs are also available on over 50 other topics of critical interest to teens. For full descriptions, transcripts, video clips, discussion guides, lesson plans and more on this and other topics, please visit our website, inthemix.org.
