Texas Teen Brings Holiday Cheer on Wheels

Every year, Clayton Lillard tries to make Christmas a little more special for children whose parents are in prison.

He and his "crew" fix up used bicycles and even acquire new ones for families in need.

This started when Clayton was just 10 years old!  He has now given away 900 bikes in eight years.

Click image below or here to learn how Clayton's social venture started and grew.

MTV Casting Calls

MTV Casting Calls

Attention Miley Cyrus fans!!  MTV is looking for Miley fans (between the ages of 15 and 19) who are making a difference.  If that description fits you, answer their casting call.

MTV wants to "recognize you for the hard work and generosity you have put forth."

Fans of Planet Earth are encouraged to answer another MTV casting call at MTV Venture, a joint initiative between Ashoka GenV and MTV International to recognize young environmentalists.

Submit your project idea for making our planet greener and cooler. Visit MTV Venture today!
