As you know, I've been WANTING to work with you forever, just am in 'overload' mode much of the time running a 'me, myself and I' ship in the nonprofit sector. Hope to shore up the flanks this summer on correspondents/crossposts/cash influx to solidify the sustainability of all of our ongoing nonprofit ventures, esp. since grants are going out the window w/the economy. So if you have any teen interns to send my way, I can sure use a hand! (I'm losing some to graduation!) Speaking of which, here's a fun 'flash animation' which will add some levity to the fiscal crisis for parents of teens.

As graduation nears, I also just interviewed the movie producers of "Default" trailer here: http://www.defaultmovie.com on student debt, which will post on Shaping Youth.org in the next week or so. Though collegiate "Gen Y" kids are getting hammered from all sides of this downturn, they remain positive, optimistic and unflappable; a breath of fresh air. And p.s. I should be interviewing YOU too. Honored to be here, Sue.
