Youth Venture

We seek to bring students from all Across America together, in the name of preventing violence and standing up for education.

The purpose of the Solidarity Project is to establish a $10,000 scholarship in the name of each of the 32 Virginia Tech victims by April 16, 2008. In remembering the victims, we seek to condemn violence on campus, promote education, and build a national body of charity inclined-college students. We are reaching our goal by selling shirts. Eight months ago, we designed a shirt with the logos of 33 Pennsylvanian colleges and universities; and, to date, sales add up to nearly $9,000 in net funds for the cause. Now we are extending the campaign into a national movement, selling a grand total of 50,000 shirts in colleges and universities all across the nation. We only need to sell 1/3rd of what was sold in Pennsylvania in each of the remaining 49 states, in order to easily reach and exceed the goal, which will create a unified college community, dedicated to preventing violence on campus and standing up for the ideals of education.
