This short, three and a half minute video came about as a result of three forces of philanthropy:
Neighborhood House, a nonprofit dedicated to helping diverse communities in King County attain their goals of self-sufficiency, health, financial independence and community building. In times of need, people turn to us.
Van Jones -- New York Times bestselling author, subject of a recent New Yorker article and keynote speaker at our annual breakfast -- is the voice behind the images.
Reel Grrls, a local nonprofit that empowers young women to realize their talent, power and influence through media production. Keep in mind that the producers of this video didn't work at a fancy video production company, but instead were local girls, some as young as 13!
