Bleh...boring site, not very interesting. Good intentions though.
Even if it has good intentions, it would never keep a kid interested in it for more than a few minuets.

Beware of the politics!
Such a promising website, but unfortunately highly politicized. For example, the issue of reproductive rights is discussed solely from the pro-abortion point of view. Very biased, even in it's telling of our country's history on this issue. It is a shame that they couldn't encourage young people to "do something" on either side of the issue, whichever one they feel passionate about, not just the one they feel is right.

This Site Makes You Think
I found this site while talking on the phone with my friend and we discussed the issues in this site for over an hour. The information on abusive relationships was fascinating and we were able to identify abusive relationships in popular romance novels. The site makes you want to take action, and the parts of the site dealing with prejudice against race, religion, gender, and sexual orientation were extremely moving. This is a great site to inform kids on current problems in our world, though the site needs to come up with even more ways to make a difference!

Good but wouldn't let me find what I was looking for
I've tried to use the website to 'do something' about abortion or help out at a pregnancy crisis center but they don't give you those options. I think most of their options are for a younger crowd, maybe to get them interested in volunteering at a young age. It's okay but as other reviews have said before, I thought it was kind of boring.

Perfect for teen activists.
I have to say that getting kids to volunteer would be much harder without this site.
