Youth Making Changes
Session Description:
One of the best ways for youth to make changes in the world is through activism and education. Activism can range from joining a local organization or political party, to starting a grassroots movement, to participating in rallies and demonstrations. By joining forces and working together, young people are able to take part in collective action and hold decision-makers accountable for their decisions. Education is another powerful tool youth can use to create meaningful change in the world. By becoming informed and learning more about underrepresented voices, their own rights, and challenging issues facing their communities, they can become empowered with knowledge. By becoming involved, youth can have an impact on local, state, national and global decision-making processes that eventually lead to lasting positive change.
