REASONS
TO GIVE - IN APRIL
- Math Education
Month - To celebrate Math Education Month, we are featuring Girls,
Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to inspiring all girls to
be strong, smart, and bold. With such programs as Operation SMART, which builds
girls' skills and interest in science, math, and technology and Economic Literacy,
which introduces girls to basic financial concepts, Girls Inc. celebrates
math while changing girls' lives.
- National
Poetry Month - Inaugurated by the Academy in April 1996, National Poetry
Month brings together publishers, booksellers, literary organizations, libraries,
schools, and poets around the country to celebrate poetry and its vital place
in American culture. Find an organization the celebrates and supports poetry
by typing "poetry" in our search box. With the little financial
support given by the government to arts programs in the U.S., they need your
support more than ever.
- World
Habitat Awareness Month
- This is a worldwide observance that emphasizes the need to protect
the habitat of all Earth's creatures and to make a conscious effort
to preserve nature's ecosystems. This is especially celebrated
on Earth Day, April 20th. Find an Environment
or Animal organization
to make a difference. Also, read our 50
Ways to Save the Earth or 80
Ways to Save Animals.

AMAZING
KIDS WHO JUST GIVE, GIVE, GIVE
As this was such a popular feature in March, we decided to highlight
some more amazing kids in April. We created our KidsCorner
to provide children (ages 5-12) information, resources, and tools to make
a difference in the world. Kids can find ways to help animals, children,
and the earth and stories about other kids who are volunteering their time
to help others.
Inspiring Kids
-- These amazing
kids go out of their way to help animals, children, and the earth:
