| Intro City Year Return to index of stories... |
Shortly after the terrorists attacks on September 11, President Bush called on all Americans to practice their civic responsibilities by becoming volunteers. Apparently, people were listening. Americorps alone have more than 130,000 citizens signed up and working in their communities. In New Hampshire, there's a program called City Year. They're volunteers and they recently celebrated a graduation. Producer Phil Vaughn some of their members. |

Sound of graduation Narr 1 - In some ways, this graduation was like most others. In other ways, it was not. Megan 1-955 "This year exceeded more than I could hope for I had no idea." Narr 2 - Megan Meyer is a graduate. So are the 24 other City Year volunteers who spent the last ten months working in middle schools throughout New Hampshire. Megan clip 1-700 "I came to NH in Sept when looking at Americorps programs and came across City Year and thought it would be a really good fit for me." Narr 3 - City Year is a national program focused on communities. Young leaders spend ten months working with students, helping them with issues ranging from schoolwork to social justice. Megan Meyer is from San Francisco. She worked at a school in Nashua. Megan clip 1-730 "Coming out of college and being a sociology major I would spend a lot of time in the library reading about all the problems in the world and I didn't want to give way to that. I wanted to find a way to make things better." Patrick 1-400 "I thought that community service would be a fulfilling thing for me. I dove into it not knowing what to expect but I've loved every minute of it." Narr 4 - And those minutes add up. Patrick Fraser, like the other 24 graduates in New Hampshire gave more than 1,700 hours of service to his community, Somersworth. Patrick 1-158 "We recruit the kids so they are there because they want to be. We had a good base of kids that showed up daily in Somersworth to participate in the programs." Alexandra 1-1900 "We focus our efforts on two areas - strengthening communities and developing young leaders." Narr 5 - Alexandra Allen is executive director of City Year NH. Alexandra 1-1910 "Developing young leaders means the corps members themselves. But it also means the students that they work with throughout the state of NH. So they work with middle school students to run after-school programs, enrichment programs during the day and they are mentors." Narr 6 - And that work spills over -- beyond the schoolyard. Alexandra 1-1927 " They also do events that strengthen communities. So this year we did an event around MLK day, youth service day in April - they do focus on how to strengthen communities through people in their communities, showing them how to be engaged citizens even in middle school or high school." Patrick 1-538 Phil "Are you going to be coming back? Yes I'll be coming back as much as I can because I know the people here and I feel comfortable with them. It's opened my eyes to volunteering and being active in my community not only here but wherever I go. City year will be in my mind and push me to be a more active citizen." Megan 1-1551 "I feel like I've demonstrated to a lot of the young people that I've worked with that one person can work to make the world a better place and have shown them how they can do that." Narr 7 - For NH Outlook, I'm Phil Vaughn |

| Intro Murals Return to index of stories... |
The global citizens circle brings together a group of people to discuss how to help change our global community. On this particular evening they viewed a clip from a New Hampshire produced documentary entitled Murals: Romanticizing the Violence. The clip is about the murals of Belfast and how they represent violence and conflict and helps to set the stage for a conversation that includes three panelists, all who deal with violence in their community: one is a former gang leader who now helps foster peace; another panelist is from Belfast and works with the children through the Ulster museum and the final panelist is a pediatrition that works with children who live in violent communities. The documentary sparks a wide range of topics. |
