[YL] Website to find youth programs and services

[Lars Hasselblad Torres]

Are there examples of websites like this for people who are looking  
to connect with other programs, for example pen pals, artistic  
collaboration, learning exchange, etc? I ask because I run the global  
peace tiles project (http://www.peacetiles.net) which, while running  
programs here in Vermont, is primarily global in focus.

thanks!
