  Everyday Heroes is a film about a group of young adults who decide to dedicate a year of their lives to teaching and mentoring needy kids through the San Francisco branch of AmeriCorps. It is not as easy as it seems, and they have to deal with a host of problems. Directed by Rick Goldsmith and Abby Ginsberg, the film aims to document the successes, failures, hopes and ambitions of a group of youngsters who, as they quite rightly describe it, are ‘potentially tomorrow’s leaders’. Though I haven’t seen the film, I think it will be an on-the-ground picture of what volunteering actually is like, and therefore very valuable for all young adults and anyone who is interested in youth volunteering in general.
