June Newsletter
Dear Friends,

We know the power of community — to lift each other's spirits as well as to move the world forward toward justice and equality for all. We appreciate the participation of our global community of lifelong learners. This month, we honor the peaceful protestors working toward this goal. Black lives matter - voices of hope and change

Please explore this month's featured events, holidays and heroes and share your inspiration through stories, art, music and short films. Note that the deadlines for several MY HERO Contests have been extended to October 1.

Sincerely,

The MY HERO Team
