The Millennial Trains Project is a non-profit(非营利性的)organization that makes it possible for young people to take part in creative projects. The organization leads crowdfunded(众筹的)train journeys. These journeys provide young people with the chance to help different communities. The organization has already completed two journeys. Twenty-four people are now getting ready to be a part of the third.
To get a place on the train, each person has to raise $5,000 and have an idea for a project. At cach stop, they get off the train to explore a different town, city, or wherever their projects take them.


 

Amy is planning to visit bookshops and libraries. She wants to find out what they are doing to encourage more people to read, and what technology they are using. She also wants to know if they are using social media(媒体)to connect with people.

 

 

Tom wants to make a difference to the education system. He knows that universities are becoming more and more expensive each year, and that many people think higher education is no longer affordable. Over the next 10 days he is visiting seven universities. He wants to see what they are doing to meet these challenges.

 

 

Jenny's project is natural disasters. At each stop, she is going to interview local leaders, workers, and computer game designers. She then plans to create a game that will help people prepare for disasters. She believes people are more likely to remember something important when the information is fun
