The Project Twelve Organization of the Month for May is Teach for America!
I've wanted to be a teacher for as long as I can remember. As an education major in college, I fully understand the importance of an enriching education, and I also fully understand that each and every child deserves the opportunity to learn. Learning can't happen without great teachers. Teach for America was founded in 1990 by college senior, Wendy Kopp. TFA is the "one of the nation's largest providers of teachers for low-income communities, and [has] been recognized for building a pipeline of leaders committed to educational equity and excellence." In order for youth and teens to grow into confident, successful young adults, we need a nation of excellent teachers. Teach for America is making a difference, and I'm proud to support them this month!

Live High on Life™ celebrates International Women's Day and supports Girl Up for the Project Twelve Foundation of the Month!
Hey everyone!
Were you one of the many people who celebrated the 100th Anniversary of International Women's Day on March 8th? If you dont already know about it, I'll give you a little bit of info. The idea for International Women's Day came from a woman named Clara Zetkin, who was a leader of the 'Women's Office' for the Social Democratic Party in Germany. She wanted to designate a day where, in every country, women would be celebrated. During a conference with 100 women from 17 countries, the idea for International Women's Day was something that everyone there agreed upon, and the very first official IWD was honored in 1911. On March 8th, we celebrated the 100th Anniversary, which is very exciting and empowering!
To help honor International Women's Day and all the girls in the world, Live High on Life is proud to support Girl Up for the month of March. "Girl Up, a campaign of the United Nations Foundation, gives American girls the opportunity to channel their energy and compassion to raise awareness and funds for programs of the United Nations that help some of the world’s hardest-to-reach adolescent girls. Through Girl Up'’s support, girls have the opportunity to become educated, healthy, safe, counted, and positioned to be the next generation of leaders." -Quoted text from GirlUp.org.
There are several ways to get involved with this incredible foundation. One way that everyone can help is by watching the video below and sharing it with friends to spread the word about Girl Up.
You can also "Give a High Five," which consists of five steps to take to help girls in developing countries:
1. Take 5 minutes to learn about the issues impacting girls in developing countries.
2.Share 5 facts about girls and the campaign through social networking
3. Send the Girlafesto (an awesome poem) to 5 friends and family members, asking them to help support Girl Up
4. Donate $5 or more to provide school supplies, health check-ups, and more
5. Host a Girl Up fundraiser in your school, club, or community
So what are you waiting for?! Get involved and make a difference :)
With every copy of Live High on Life for Teens that you purchase in March, you're helping to support Girl Up! To learn more, visit www.livehighonlife.com/project-twelve.
Thanks for stopping by! And remember, even though January is over, Live High on Life™ is still supporting the SUCCESS Foundation. When you order your copy of Live High on Life from www.livehighonlife.com, you'll receive a FREE copy of Success for Teens!

| I was really excited when I first opened up the magazine and saw my pic in the Table of Contents! |
When I found out that I was going to be in the magazine, I was so excited! I used to think, "Wow- it would be such an honor to be in a magazine like SUCCESS someday!" And it actually happened. Live High on Life has only been out for two months, so I'm very grateful to have had the opportunity to contribute to such an incredible magazine so early on in my LHOL journey.
The article, Leading and Letting Go, by Erin Casey, provides tips for parents on how to help their teens make good decisions when it comes to relationships. You can find a copy of SUCCESS Magazine wherever fine magazines are sold :) If you'd like to read it online, you can do that too! Just click here!
