About The Project

Take Action allows youth to act on simple acts of kindness for bringing about change each day. They can connect with other individuals making the same changes around the world, and learn more about how to make the world a better place through the U.N. Millenium Development Goals. Through Take Action, youth will share and communicate their experiences of creating change through text, images, and video. We hope that this will inspire students to take ownership of improving their world through discussion, creation, and implementation of new action.

Karma – what is Karma and how does it work? Good “karma” is when we do something good. It is believed that if you act by doing something good that this action will cause good to come back to you someday. The question is how much "goodness" do you think someone's comment creates? You get to answer the question by giving out Karma points.
