Blue Planet Venture

Empowering youth groups to create solutions and take part in the success!
Educate! Fundraise! Implement!

The Program

• We are looking for ten groups of 10-20 students in ten cities along the route of the 2007 Blue Planet Run to participate. Each will adopt a village by fundraising for and actually traveling to that village to implement that water project!

• Places YOU could travel to as a Blue Planet Venture ambassador: Nicaragua, Cambodia, Ecuador, Sierra Leone, India, and many others!

Each team will be required to do a separate project along with their trip to implement a water project. This could be making a documentary of how water affects your village, a presentation in schools in your district to educate your community about the water crisis, or any creative idea your group might have that will continue to educate your community or further help your village in another way besides water.

In partnership with:

	Rewarding your organizational and fundraising efforts, Youth Venture will provide seed money to get your program off the ground. For more information on Youth Venture, please visit their website: www.genv.net
	Global Works organizes trips for youth to get involved with a community in another country. Global Works will coordinate all travel, living arrangements, and educational involvement with the village’s community, and exciting adventure trips while you are there!
