generationOn, the global youth service movement of Points of Light, inspires, equips and mobilizes youth to take action through service clubs, schools, youth organizations, campaigns and youth leadership initiatives. It also provides tools and resources to youth, families and educators to help kids change the world and themselves through service. For more, visit http://www.generationOn.org.
