Echoing Green is set to take over Capitol Hill tomorrow, as President Cheryl Dorsey and 1994 Fellow Van Jones are slated to testify before the House Education and Labor Committee.

Earlier this month, Elizabeth Kolbert of The New Yorker wrote an portrait of 1994 Echoing Green Fellow and Founder of Green for All, Van Jones.  Van gets plenty of press coverage, but this in-depth profile offers that distinctive and colorful New Yorker lens onto his personal background, activist philosophy, and social change career.  

Looking for stories about social entrepreneurship? Author Wilford Welch has written an inspiring new book, featuring stories from twenty-seven social entrepreneurs—including Echoing Green Fellows Van Jones, Priya Haji, Sasha Chanoff, and Karen Tse.

Welch and his team have also built a tool called My Circle to help young people pursue their passions. Definitely worth checking out: www.tacticsofhope.org/
