Do you have a child or grandchild who is working on a special community service or charitable event this summer.  Or do you have a friend or neighbor who is raising a kid who is doing his or her part to make a difference in the world? 

Here’s a great opportunity for the youngster who is making a difference:

The Responsibility Project by Liberty Mutual is collecting stories from teens ages 13-17 who plan to use their summer break to “do the right thing.” Be it participating in a charity event or organizing a community clean-up, teens can enter the Responsibility Project For the Win contest by filling out an online form and writing an essay describing a personal “responsibility project” (in 300 words or less) at www.responsibilityproject.com/contests/ftw.

Submissions will be accepted through August 31, 2010, and winners will be announced in September.

On behalf of each of the five winners selected, Liberty Mutual will donate $500 to an approved 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Winners will also have their entries featured on ResponsibilityProject.com and be invited to guest blog more about their experiences on the Responsibility Project website.
