That's 26% who participate in school and community activities,
26% who spend over $170 billion a year,
and 26% who care about the world.
However, that's also
26% of the population who cannot vote
and 26% who are supposed to be seen and not heard,
making for a resounding 100% of the future
who have not been encouraged to exercise leadership today.
Shouldn't young people have a voice in issues that directly concern them?
THERE'S NO MINIMUM AGE FOR LEADERSHIP.
This site aims to prove that MINORS can play a MAJOR ROLE. Everyone--especially teens and tweens--are invited to email or call our toll-free hotline. Also, our national
nonprofit clearinghouse provides information and resources to youth workers, mentors, teachers, principals, policy makers, parents and organizations that want to support young advocates .
