Is there a young person in your life who wants to change the world? If so, you might want to let them know about the J8 essay contest. It's a contest to find a group of four students aged 13-17 to represent the U.S. at this year’s J8 (Junior 8) summit. The summit, a youth version of the G8, takes place in July in Japan, and is a forum for young people to discuss today’s global issues, like HIV/AIDS and climate change.
In addition to the usual eight delegations from the G8 countries, there will be seven delegates from developing countries. And one representative from each team will go on to meet with members of the G8 summit. This is truly an opportunity for young people to have their voice and unique perspectives heard!
