Why focus on youth?
​
We want to encourage our youth to engage in leadership to contribute to positive change and development. The youth are the light and they need to be connected with, encouraged, and given opportunities to exercise leadership. Our youth are energetic to lead and bring new diverse perspectives to the table. By doing this, they not only help our community and re-energize adults, but also help themselves to develop their identities, to represent their own interests, to gain skills, to gain knowledge, to strengthen their networks, to counteract negative stereotypes of young people in our community, and to realize the power of their influence.
​
Our pledge as a community to the youth:
​
-
We will support you and empower you because we want the next generation to be better than the previous one.
​
-
We will be role models to you and create a sense of belonging and purpose. We want to help you navigate life between the two worlds you experience at home and in society.
