There’s a new social networking site aimed at teens and college kids called YourLifeBox.com and offers members a place to chat, as well as connect with others who are serious about their futures and taking steps toward building a great one!

Visitors at YourLifeBox.com are invited to share, connect and network with members who have similar passions and to find support for their dreams from other members and sponsors. Joining YourLifeBox.com is absolutely free to people ages 14 and up and offers a multi-faceted, social utility for members to create their own profiles, make friends, manage their messages, blogs, invites and interactive commentary. Members who share a common goal, concern or interest can create a network of friends and contacts to offer guidance and support to each other, as well as add links to their videos and broadcasts on YLB TV. See inks to member dream broadcasts below.

YourLifeBox.com has offered just the opportunities for which some members had hoped. One member of the site dreamed of working in TV and film. Not long after posting his dream, he received details about a TV production company in New York, which eventually landed him a job interview and a position with the company. Another member’s dream was to become a physician’s assistant, but she first needed to receive volunteer experience and shadow a qualified physician. Her wish came true when another member reached out and put her in touch with a doctor she could shadow to gain experience.

Connect with YourLifeBox.com also on Twitter and Facebook.

In support of student academic goals, YourLifeBox now has launched a program to reward scholarships to participating members, with the first scholarship award of $1,000 to be given out on a quarterly basis throughout the year. To enter, users will be asked to fill out a complete profile, post a picture, insert his or her school into the school section, and under YLB wish, type “$1,000 Scholarship.” The scholarship winner will be chosen based on his or her dream and the number of votes he or she receives for his or her profile. Additional details for scholarship are as follows:

More than Just a Dream
Sometimes making your dream come true is just as simple as getting the right information or making the right contact, and the popular social networking website, YourLifeBox.com, is doing just that — helping students and young people take proactive steps toward building their futures one dream at a time. Founded by young Internet entrepreneur Jonathan Bullard, YourLifeBox.com combines elements of popular social utility websites, but goes further by helping users connect with other members while promoting their dreams through social outreach and providing members with a forum to ask for something non-monetary to make their dreams a reality.

“When I created YourLifeBox, I wanted users to have the functionality of popular social utility websites, but with an important twist: to focus on sharing their dreams, passions and ambitions in their profile, with the added benefit of asking for something non-monetary, something practical such as a social connection, opportunity or introduction in order to find support from other members to help make their dreams a reality,” says YourLifeBox.com creator, Jonathan Bullard.
 
Manhattan born Bullard was inspired to create the site based on the fact so many never have the opportunity to achieve their dreams and reach their full potential. “There are so many talented individuals in the world who have ideas and dreams that never become a reality because they are in an environment that does not support their dreams and hopes. A simple thing susch as positive encouragement and support potentially can change the world.”

How to Win a YLB Scholarship
To compete for Yourlifebox.com’s current scholarship award, site visitors are asked to:
– Log on to YourLifeBox.com and fill out a complete profile, including a picture and dream;
– Include attended school under the school section on the profile page;
– Insert $1,000 Tuition Scholarship under the YLB wish section on the profile page;
– Get people to vote on their profile by sharing their dream with everybody.
