Be The Change
“With the right balance of challenge and support, youth are highly capable of designing solutions to the challenges they face daily. Through my Youth Empowerment Program (YEP), I encourage, train, support, mentor, challenge, and mobilize young people to “be the change” they want to see in their schools, universities, and communities. Using highly-relevant and research-based strategies, I have consistently demonstrated that our youth can and will rise to the high levels of expectations we set for them.
