One example of a recent student-organized project Stanford Youth
Solutions is a very successful book drive organized by Tejas
Pradeep, sophomore at Mira Loma High School. Tejas proposed the
idea of a book drive to Stanford Youth Solutions in March 2011
with the original goal of collecting around two-hundred books for
the children and youth in their programs. Tejas shattered his
goal pulling in nearly 2,000 books from a variety of community
supporters.
