Hey everyone, today I went to an event called the Power of Youth. It was organized by an amazing team of 11 and 12-year-olds part of a program called Kids in Action. They invited youth-focused organisations to come into their school and set up their materials so students could have the opportunity to learn about them.
There was a keynote speaker from Free the Children and she was amazing. Her presentation was really engaging. At the end, I spoke with the teacher who helped the kids with their initiative and she is excited about having CLC do a workshop with the kids in April.

The one thing I am a little concerned about is that - these kids are too young for the TIG website. But I really want to keep them engaged. How do I do that? They have so much passion to make the world a better place.

Any suggestions?
