"You don’t have to be rich, famous or even an adult to make a difference. Everyone has the time. Everyone has the talent. Especially kids. Our goal is to make doing good as easy, fun, and accessible as school sports. That’s why we call it The LEAGUE.We believe students are natural givers; they are trendsetters, unafraid to create change. Does your school already do good? Whether it’s through a student council food drive, a club doing service, or a class doing its own project, log on, get recognized and connect with others. The LEAGUE combines service, learning, and friendly “co-opetition” with live, interactive events. From planting trees to collecting food for the hungry, kids are returning millions of dollars worth of value back to the community."

"Virsonas are “Virtual Personas,” created to Reason, Remember and React in the same way that a living, fictional or historical person would. You can create the “Virtual You” as a Personal Virsona™ or you can create and / or interact with one of our Community Virsonas. Interacting with our Community Virsonas opens up a world of possibility – you can actually talk directly to one of your heroes, conduct research or simply have FUN!
Our Virsonas don't know the answers to everything, but they are capable and willing to learn. As part of the Virsona Community, you can participate in “educating” them using the “Teach” button. So, if you chat with a Virsona and it doesn't know the answer, simply create your free account, and you can begin to “teach” it by simply inputting the correct answers! That's the beauty of a Community; participation, sharing and learning." -
