A 14-year-old girl has raised $14,000 for senior dogs who have been left behind with the goal of helping them find a forever home like she did when she was adopted. Meena Kumar at nine months old was found abandoned in Pune, India. After spending a year in an orphanage, she was adopted by a couple in Mumbai and brought to San Jose, California. Muttville Senior Dog Rescue is a cage-free dog rescue that gives senior dogs a second chance at life. The organization rescues about 1,000 dogs per year and runs mostly with the help of volunteers. Many senior dogs are often left behind in shelters. With tender love and care, those dogs can make great companions. The problem was Meena needed to be 17 to volunteer at the organization, so she started to dog sit in her home to raise money to donate until she was able to volunteer in person. To date she has raised $7,000 for Muttville. That number doubled to $14,000, thanks to a matching donation program with Intel, where her father works. Meena feels adopting an older dog will benefit everyone especially at a time like now when many are feeling isolated and alone. Have you ever adopted an older pet?

Triplet teen brothers Jared, Jacob, and Josiah Joseph are only 14 but have made quite an impact in their community in Cerritos, California. They were concerned about the homeless people they witnessed who had little or no access to the basics for proper sanitation practises at a time when these practises could potentially save lives. The teens put together a simple safety kit, containing face masks and gloves, sanitizer wipes and water. It's a great start in helping others. Also, they're doing it from the safety of their own home. All of this was made possible with a small loan. The brothers reportedly took out a $120 loan to help create and disperse their kits. They were inspired to help out after losing a local firefighter to the virus. It made them realize that they could take action and help save the lives of others. Isn't it inspiring to hear stories of young people thinking of others more than themselves?

With Florida becoming a hot spot for Covid-19 outbreaks, one Florida teen decided to change that. Every week, 15-year-old Faizan Zaidi is asking important questions sharing what he learns with others as part of a new podcast called "Infectious: Your Guide to Life During the Coronavirus." After noticing friends not taking safety precautions like mask wearing seriously, he decided to create a podcast aiming to arm young people with information. "They think they're not going to get hurt," said Zaidi who goes by "Faz" in his podcasts. "They don't really understand why you have to wear a mask. It's not just about you it's about others." But he's not just interviewing other teens and teachers. He's also reached out to some of the nation's top health experts including a New York ER doctor on the front lines. Fazan's parents are both doctors, a career he'd like to one day pursue. Do you think this young man could influence others to take the proper safety precautions?

Faced with an open-ended art project to close out the school year, it was clear to 15-year-old Liv McNeil what the subject matter had to be: self-isolation. Like of a lot of Canadians, the Toronto teen, who just finished Grade 9 at Etobicoke School of the Arts, was hitting a breaking point during the pandemic. She made a short film about "that feeling of monotony and numbness" that has emerged during this period. The project itself only counted for about two per cent of her grade (she scored nine out of a possible eight marks, she said), but it's been worth far more outside the classroom. The video has garnered more than 350,000 views on YouTube since June 17 and even a shout-out from one of Canada's most celebrated artists, director Sarah Polley, who called the three-minute short film a "masterpiece" on Twitter. Many teens have messaged her, saying the film actually helped them cope with what they were feeling. Do you think teens, whose lives are normally so socially centred, have had a more difficult time dealing with the isolation than their parents or other older adults?
