""Don’t believe all of the negative perceptions that are out there about youth. You, along with your families and communities can change things. You need to be part of a network of peers and adults who can work together to achieve a vision you may have... Young people are not in a ‘waiting period’...waiting to be leaders, waiting to make a difference...young people matter now!"" - Barbara Taveras, Philanthropist
Why I’m Here

To connect with like-minded inviduals who also care about the social issues that affect people in our country and around the world. Also to explore what can be done to improve the quality of education in low income communities. I also feel strongly on poverty and crime issues as well. I also seek to hypothesize with others on different methods that can be utilized to tackle all of these issues from a small/large scale.
