The future is BRIGHT, my friends! We've talked too much on this show about how businesses can recover from COVID-19.
Today, you will meet two teenage entrepreneurs who saw a need and created a project to help hundreds of elementary students from around the globe.
Sarah Shapiro and Skye Loventhal started the COVID NineTEEN Project, which provides FREE teen-led activities and one-on-one tutoring meant to support elementary school students.
The COVID NineTEEN Project is a group of motivated teens who are using this valuable time to make a difference in the world.
They hope to serve as mentors for elementary school children to help them fill their time and continue to flourish despite the uncertainty of the outside world.

Meet Skye
I am one of the co-founders of the Covid NineTEEN Project. And I am currently a high school junior who is part of the AP Capstone Program. I am also the founding Vice President of her school's Girl Up chapter, a softball coach for an eight and under team, and a kindergarten teacher assistant. I participate in my school's Academic mentor Program as a math tutor for underclassmen. I am passionate about advocacy and I'm so glad to be able to make a difference during this time!

Medal of Honor: Stories of Courage
Rewarded for bravery that goes above and beyond the call of duty, the Medal of Honor is the United States’ top military decoration. The stories we tell are about the heroes who have distinguished themselves by acts of heroism and courage that have saved lives. From Judith Resnik, the second woman in space, to Daniel Daly, one of only 19 people to have received the Medal of Honor twice, these are stories about those who have done the improbable and unexpected, who have sacrificed something in the name of something much bigger than themselves. Every Wednesday on Medal of Honor, uncover what their experiences tell us about the nature of sacrifice, why people put their lives in danger for others, and what happens after you’ve become a hero. Special thanks to series creator Dan McGinn, to the Congressional Medal of Honor Society and Adam Plumpton. Medal of Honor begins on May 28.
