The GOOD L.A. Fund

Cool website. Bruno Mars sent me here from Facebook.

great!

I sure hope project goodness wins!

Being a Psychology Professor, I understand the importance of teaching our children kindness and compassion. It seems like something that we should all just "get." But sadly, we don't all "get it". Our children are so malleable, that when these values are taught in a fun and exciting way., these lessons stick. Project Goodness does just that. I am a big believer of what you and this program are doing for our younger generation! Good luck!

There are so many incredible ideas, but I voted for Veggie Vouchers because it helps struggling families stay healthy & local farmers in business. That's a win-win! Viva Veggie Vouchers!

Go go go

Go STRIDES!

My son had an amazing experience with Project Goodness! I really think that we need to make this program a mandatory part of the curriculum! They were able to get a hands on experience of what it means to be a philanthropist (and my 10 year old even knows how to spell that word now!) With the help of Project Goodness my son and his class were able to send a young boy in Kenya to school for an entire year! They learned all about his Maasai tribe and culture, and even had a pen pal experience with him. We need to open up the eyes of our children to the possibility that they can make a difference. Even if it's just a little bit at a time--it truly does all add up! (Mrs. Alli teaches our kids this and many other valuable lessons). Until we can get PG as a mandatory part of our curriculum, I am asking on behalf of many wonderful parents out there for your one vote to help keep this program in our schools! One vote, one click, may make all the difference as we continue to inspire our children to make a difference!

Vote for Slake and support literature in L.A. http://goodla.maker.good.is/projects/slake

This program is particularly powerful for students who never found a niche in school. With Breakaway, they learn to create their own niche while fixing problems in their communities!

I can see it!! People need to spend more time training the youth of America.

I want a bracelet.

Thank you all for the amazing support and for helping Project Goodness keep our #1 ranking! 8 more days to go! If you would like to see a little video of what we do, follow this link: http://www.youtube.com/user/StartGoodness#p/u/4/ZQcg1yWfNXs & you can also visit our website at www.startgoodness.org Thanks for spreading the word about the voting and in turn helping us spread the goodness!

My vote goes to Breakaway Education!

My vote is for Project Goodness and I hope yours is too! Please help us continue to inspire and motivate children to activate their own inner goodness! Every little bit counts, and every little vote too!

Teranga Ranch runs a great reptile rescue and reptile education program

Great way to help!

Project Goodness is such an important part of our class curriculum now! Please support this idea so that we can continue to teach our children the lessons and values of kindness, goodness, and compassion in our school setting. It's so nice to have a program that comes in and brings so much to our classroom! The students LOVE Project Goodness! Please use your vote for Project Goodness!

The Teranga Ranch idea with the iguana lizard picture...this is not just a GOOD idea for our community, it's a GREAT idea!...50 local schools(1500 children) win an 'on site' free field trip!! I can't think of any better idea than to have a biology/science LAUSD teacher-led group visit my child's school and bring animals they've only seen on TV. This is an amazing opportunity for the schools if this group wins! Thanks GOOD for having the contest!

We love having Project Goodness at our school! Please support this idea with your vote!

This is awesome; Good job GOOD LA!

Project Goodness is the best thing that's happened in our school! Please help support this wonderful organization! They are doing amazing things to help shape our younger generation. They are our future, and Project Goodness teaches them they have the power to make a positive difference!

This is awesome

:) yay! Go Brenda!

Really love this idea! lynn

Please support PROJECT GOODNESS! My son had Project Goodness in his class recently, and I can't even find the words to express how vital this program is to our children. Teachers have an incredibly full load of curriculum heavy material, and therefore don't always have the time to bring the ideas of philanthropy and compassion into the classroom. Sometimes busy parents (guilty) don't always find the time either. Project Goodness teaches our children core lessons and values in goodness-- something we all take for granted. Please support and vote for this project! And my son, Lee, wants me to write, Mrs. Alli is cool too!

Love it!!! Go Project Goodness!!

TERANGA RANCH....please vote for this hands on learning experience for our children in school this is awesome please vote...thanks

Hi! I created an "idea." How do I find it and edit it? -LitforLife

Hi LitforLife, thanks for submitting. Please email me the edits you would like to make at marketing[a]goodinc.com. Many thanks!

According to "F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America's Future, 2011,” childhood obesity rates have tripled since 1980. While the consequences of youth obesity have been well-documented, less information exists on the effects on overweight and obese youth as they become adults. Adults who are overweight and obese as children tend to stay so as adults and is considered to be the primary threat to mental and emotional health.

Such great ideas are flowing in. Keep them coming!

This is exciting.
