All of my references mentioned in this annotated bibliography are organizations and/or non-profit agencies for the betterment of people in our communities, states and nation. They are constructed to promote a more engaged, conscious and creative global community and civilization through both children and adults. Each have a specific role to be played that is beneficial to the improvement of our social condition. Though just a handful of the many organizations out there that are making a difference, I believe that they will touch and provide brighter futures for humanity.
