Explanation
Pt III, Line 31
Ms. Averil Spencer, a young practitioner of girl's education in
India, gave the TCMUN keynote presentation, inspiring participants to
take their TCMUN deliberations seriously and to aspire to become
engaged global citizens.
Over the 2012 spring break, IC 21 sponsored a community service trip for
Jackson High School students to the Trinity Yard School (TYS), located
outside of Cape Three Points, a small fishing village in Ghana. As in
2010, IC 21 provided liability insurance and administrative support
for this trip. Overall it was a very successful trip and provided a
positive, if not life-changing, experience for every student involved,
as well as increasing IC 21's pool of loyal parent and community
supporters and covering all its own costs.
IC 21 completed the two-year tree-planting project, funded by 1% for
the Tetons, in October 2011. The project met its goals of planting
350 trees at public sites in the Teton watershed in WY and Idaho and
raising public awareness about the important role that trees
play in climate change. Student, teacher, and community volunteers
were integral to the success of this program.
As part of an ongoing effort to promote student awareness and action
around issues of sustainability, IC 21 brought a nationally acclaimed
presentation entitled "Hot Planet/Cool Athletes" (HPCA) to four
Jackson Hole schools in February. The presentation pairs a professional
winter athlete with a climate change educator, using the medium of
skiing and snowboarding to approach the global issue of climate change.
HPCA is specifically geared toward mountain communities like Jackson.
Protect Our Winters provided funding for this project.

INSURANCE OUTREACH & SCHOOL PROGRAM JH GCC MISCELLANEOUS UN HUMAN RIGHTS TRIP
IC 21 co-sponsored and sent six WY students to the 13th annual
UNSCHR, which took place at the UN headquarters and the UN
International School(UNIS)in New York City from November 28-
December 1, 2011. The theme of the conference was "Human
Rights Defenders."
IC 21 produced summer and winter/spring newsletters that were
distributed to some 600 people by email, snail mail and at events.
In collaboration with Mark Pommer and the JHHS Key Club, IC 21
spent considerable time laying groundwork for a community service
exchange project between Jackson students and their peers on
the Wind River Indian Reservation. They undertook four trips to the
Reservation in FY'11. IC 21 contacted some 50 former student
participants togauge the impact of IC 21 on their subsequent
lives. Generally,responses were very positive and indicated that
the IC 21 had impacted almost all the respondents positively
and had made a considerable difference in the lives of perhaps
10 outstanding young leaders.
At the end of FY'11, IC 21 sponsored a cultural exchange trip
of thirteen rising 8th and 9th graders from Jackson, WY to
Lienz, Austria. In Lienz they stayed with the families of their
Austrian peers, whom they have been communicating with by mail
since they were in 6th grade. Through this experience, students
from both continents were encouraged to build leadership qualities
and cros-cultural connections.
