Our guest shares their personal journey and how it led to the creation of the organization, as well as the impact their work has had on young people and communities.

Throughout the episode, we discuss the importance of providing young people with the tools and resources they need to become leaders and change-makers in their own right, while also addressing the pressing issue of mental health in youth.

From mentorship and leadership training to community-building events, social justice initiatives, and mental health advocacy, our guest shares insights on what it takes to create sustainable change and make a meaningful impact on the lives of young people and their communities. Join us for an inspiring conversation about the power of youth-led movements, the importance of investing in the next generation of changemakers, and the critical need for mental health support for youth with Be the Change Youth Initiative.
