          |  | A Spotlight on Parades and Leadership Mentoring By 
            Jason McGahan, January 2002
 |   
          |  | I met Douglas Calvin two years ago. I had been living in D.C. one 
            year and volunteering with a homeless shelter, a parks preservation 
            group, and writing news articles for the D.C. Independent Media Center. 
            Our meeting was serendipitous because I was beginning to doubt the 
            effectiveness of my work, and to dismay at how my good intentions 
            were being soured by inflexible bureaucracies. Doug’s ideas 
            reinvigorated my dreams, which are like the pilot light for community 
            activists like me. Since then I have been working with the YLSN to 
            empower local kids the way Doug empowered me. More  |  Youth Leadership Support Network
