[Especially relevant for educators, parents and educational conferences]

Most kids want to be helpful and caring, but these impulses are often suffocated by a materialistic culture that values all of us for what we can buy, not for who we are. You can help your kids bring these impulses to life. John Graham, author of It's Up to Us, a mentoring book for teens, shows how telling kids the stories of real heroes prompts many of them to want to make a difference themselves. You'll learn from his speech how to help kids find and solve problems they care about-and build lives as caring and courageous citizens.
