Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. Give , targeting a young teen audience, introduces viewers to the world of philanthropy through the stories of small charities making a big impact. The series features NBC News correspondent and the founder of UNICEFs Next Generation, Jenna Bush Hager, esteemed actor Blair Underwood, and passionate celebrity philanthropists from film, television, music, sports, and business who are all on a mission to inspire others to do good.

With the help of some of the countrys top foundations, we meet these inspiring individuals to see how they do it through the eyes of our celebrity ambassadors. Directing viewers to become involved is a primary focus of GIVE, such as reading aloud is one of the most important activities to become a successful reader. When you read aloud, your vocabulary grows, as does your confidence; Camp programs can provide individuals with opportunities to learn new skills, harness creativity, strengthen social skills, and boost confidence; Philanthropic organizations can encourage environmental stewardship by providing opportunities for hands-on learning, taking individuals outside in nature. When problem solving, stepping back to look at the big picture of a situation can provide insight on how to get creative and offer solutions that you might not have come to otherwise. When you have a strong leader at the helm of a philanthropic organization, communities thrive; When you give back to your community with your time, you can experience joy knowing that your time empowers others; Philanthropic organizations that work with military service veterans can create opportunities for those individuals to regain a sense of purpose. It is powerful when someone believes in you and your ability to succeed. When you tell someone you believe in them, it opens up the possibility for them to discover who they are and who they want to be; and it does not matter your age, if you are passionate about something, you can take action to raise awareness for that cause.
