Do you currently use or have you used Scarleteen for yourself as a young person, as a peer or adult educator, healthcare provider or other supportive adult, as a parent or guardian or in some other capacity? Are you comfortable being on video? Scarleteen plans to submit a video for Project For Awesome in 2025 and we’re asking you, the people Scarleteen has actually helped, for your help and participation in the video! Project For Awesome is an annual fundraising initiative that was started in 2007 by Hank and John Green, AKA the Vlogbrothers. During Project for Awesome, a plethora of organizations and individuals post videos advocating for causes that “decrease the overall level of world suck.” During P4A, these videos are shared widely; and over the course of a 48-hour livestream, a great deal of money is raised for the most popular causes. As an organization that has been working diligently to decrease the overall level of world suck for over 25 years, and has done so for millions upon millions of people all around the world, and who also is and has always been deeply underfunded, we feel like Project for Awesome is just the right place for us. Our goal with our video is to communicate the awesomeness of Scarleteen through your stories and your voices. We're asking you to capture yourself on video talking about your experience with Scarleteen so we can hear from you in your own words. Your personal experiences with Scarleteen will help us demonstrate that our work is vital, life-changing, has long decreased and continues to decrease the overall level of world suck, and in their words, is awesome.

Hank Green and CEO of Save the Children Janti Soeripto, talk about the issues within the Gaza Strip currently happening, and calling for ceasefire once more. Project for Awesome is (dare I say) an awesome way that John and Hank Green and the others helping them help provide relief funds and donations from viewers to various charities. If you can, even if you aren’t able to donate, it is still really good to watch.

im not sorry about the person im about to become for the next 48 hours

project for awesome is happening this year from february 16th to february 18th, so this is exactly a month ahead to warn you why you should not be voting for a potential candidate, the nanowrimo organization.

they have been a candidate over the years and they do not deserve being a candidate at all especially with their more recent fbi cases and child predation issues. the constant endangerment of the userbase is frankly ridiculous, and the amount of testimonies i can find and the amount that i have had to make myself is outrageous.

here is a short video that goes briefly into each of the issues and allegations [some of these are not confirmed and are only allegations or speculations. some of these i have seen firsthand. the information in this video is provided at random and some has more evidence then others] that the nanowrimo organization has had [there is a trigger warning at the beginning for child abuse, assault, predators, racism, ableism, terrorism, bombings, abuse]

issues and allegation including child grooming [from both mods and unchecked users who were creeps], incompetent moderation, emotionally abusing position of power over minors, banning and silencing users who would try to speak out, ableism, making light of terrorism

all this and it isn't touching on half of the firsthand accounts and the rampant racism and bigotry that was allowed on the nano forums, both for the young writers program and the official nanowrimo forums
