"When young people begin to help others, they help themselves. With their
talent and energy, they will be powered to serve their communities, and we're
going to have more fun than we've ever had," said Usher.

Part of this year's program includes a two-day "Power Summit" to educate youth
on how to use the resources they may not have even known they had to change
their local and global communities. The summit will introduce youth to current
social issues and give them the opportunity to discuss what should be done.
They will to tap into their own artistic abilities to design and execute
campaigns that bring awareness and action to a global issue back in their
hometowns. The youth will lead these campaigns and track their impact during
the next year.

"By educating the kids about global issues and by teaching them to combine the
resources available to them with their own artistic talents, we hope to ignite
a passion within the youth to tackle these issues and create change not only
in their communities, but in the world," said Usher's New Look President Shawn
Wilson.
