Chicken Soup for the Soul meets
Freedom Writers - that's one way to describe an exciting new project to help teenagers share their stories called
One in Five Minds has been invited to be a key partner in this project which aims at reducing suicide, bullying and increasing youth leadership.
Teens who want to be part of this special book project begin by answering three questions:
- Who has made the greatest difference in your life, and what did they do?
- In whose life have you made the greatest difference, and what did you do.
- What difference would you like to see in the world, and what are you doing to contribute to it?
Teens will submit their responses
online, and if selected, will have a chance to become published authors, receive valuable training from a book publisher, and make a difference in the world - all at the same time!
Every teenager who submits to be in the book will be honored upon the book's release and will be invited to attend an online training series.
Stories selected to be included in the
YOU Make a Difference: 50 Amazing Young People Share Their Stories of Inspiration and Transformation book, will allow the teenage author to tell his or her story, while also protecting the identity of the families and others.

One in Five Minds advocacy campaign is sponsored by Clarity Child Guidance Center.
