You have the power to make a difference.
This week-long workshop provides youth with an opportunity to learn about local and global issues, develop leadership skills, and explore the crucial role youth have in creating positive social change. In addition, this year the workshop will have a special focus on Amplifier's We the Future Campaign.
"The We the Future campaign showcases ten young leaders representing ten diverse movements, each already building us a better world. They are drafting and passing legislation. They are working on climate justice, criminal justice reform, voting rights, immigration rights, disability justice, gun reform, queer rights, and literacy. Their work is nonpartisan, and it carries the energy of countless communities from every background." - Amplifier
The program will include field trips, discussions with experts from the fields of philanthropy and social justice, and networking opportunities with various social impact organizations. Workshops are co-facilitated in collaboration with Gates Foundation Discovery Center's Youth Ambassadors and Storytellers for Change.
