A program of the Pew Partnership for Civic Change, the 2007 Civic Change Award will

Potential nominees include art museums coordinating annual events and training for emerging young artists, locally operated businesses organizing summer internships for youth, or churches that run programs matching senior citizen mentors with young people.
