Outreach’s goal is to make a meaningful difference working on issues that are important and relevant to us as students of Hamilton-Wenham, citizens of the United States, and human beings of the world. Though most of our efforts are centered on projects that target singular topics at a time, today we stepped back to evaluate our role in the big-picture work of “social good”. In order to refocus on the problems that matter most to us and to stimulate enthusiasm for our roles in helping to solve these problems, we started the second semester at Outreach by asking our members: “What makes you want to make a difference?”

Our objective for this photo campaign was to begin the second half of the school year with a renewed drive to take concerted action in promoting social good within the areas about which we are most passionate. We also wanted to share these opinions with those outside of Outreach, and encourage people to discuss why they make a difference, and how they do it. Please take a minute to read the range of responses below from some Outreach members and teachers from HWRHS.

These photos were taken in connection with Redefy’s #TheGenerationOfNow social media campaign. Redefy is an organization with a goal to “boldly defy stereotypes, embrace acceptance and tolerance, redefine our perspectives positively, and create an active community.” Find it at: http://redefy.org/
