Impact Your World

TAKE ACTION – Be part of the solution. Get informed, connect to organizations and share how you have made an impact.

Impact Your World is a CNN initiative that empowers  viewers to take action on the news they consume. Information + Action = Impact

 Impact Your World is an empowerment initiative that gives people an opportunity to interact with and respond to the news. CNN connects the worldwide audience to the interests, passions and causes they care about through the people and stories covered by journalists as well as by those presented by prominent figures and celebrities.

Impact your World is a movement inspired by the  desire to be a part of the solution as people consume CNN news coverage on television, online and on their mobile devices. People are informed and connected to organizations that allow them to act easily and on demand, and then share with the CNN community their own personal impact on the world.

You can read more about Impact Your World here OR You can join Impact Your World on Face Book if you are 13 years old and your parents are aware of your participation.

Stop Sweating the Small Stuff

Don't worry about who doesn't like you, who has more, or who's doing what

Instead, let's cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.

If you don't mind, send this message on to all the women you are grateful to have as friends.

Maybe we should all grab that purple hat earlier. This is a disease which affects all families… no one is exempt!

Students Rebuild mobilizes young people to connect, learn and take action on critical global issues. Their newest campaign, A Path Forward, challenges students to take a collective stand against on-going humanitarian crises in Somalia & the Democratic Republic of Congo. You might be familiar with their previous challenges when students were asked to create paper cranes which supported reconstruction in Japan & Haiti.
