I am so impressed by this Zine project. It's one of the best examples of teen participation and teen/adult collaboration I've seen to date. Not only did these teens write their own proposal for this project, they prepared a marketing plan and presented their idea directly to ConocoPhillips. They received a $17,000 grant as a result. And, equally impressive, they produced this publication by themselves. Minimal adults involved!
