Each week, we'll profile the links we include on the homepage. Be sure to check out these great, socially-aware sites.

• Jason Foundation
  The Jason Foundation is a major player in the field of youth suicide prevention. I actually had the pleasure of meeting Clark Flatt, President and CEO, today. He's a visionary man who was led to start the foundation after his son, Jason, committed suicide. Clark found the suicide rate among young people alarming, and started the foundation to prevent more teens from becoming statistics. Jason Foundation offices are in several states and hundreds of schools around the country use Jason Foundation materials to educate and train people on suicide prevention.

• Give Meaning
  Give Meaning is to money what CoolPeopleCare is to time. Believing that the $5 philanthropist should have a place in this world, Tom Williams developed this concept to allow generous givers the opportunity to make a major impact with a small amount of money. Browse their site for ways you can make an impact with just a few dollars.

• Witness
  I found this site in the latest issue of Fortune Magazine. I love the concept of arming people with cameras as they tell their story in today's digital world. Their work raises awareness about the gravity of human rights abuses happening all around the globe. And best of all, you hear the stories from victims. The reality of pain and abuse is almost tangible. Visit their site and educate yourself today.
