Youth In Action

Youth in Action is a non profit organization for youth in surrounding cities who are viewed and treated as leaders. This is great empowerment because they are tomorrows leaders. Youth in Action LEADS means they are leading by example, leading by expression and leading others to their organization. They can lead other highschoolers into their safe space which is beneficial to their mental health when a support group is by them. When I was there I felt happy for the youth that they had their own community to speak up on social justice issues. Keeping thoughts like that bottled up during this difficult period in history isnt healthy. And the youth at Youth in Action are getting comfortable with having those uncomfortable conversations. And seeing high school students do that is very empowering.
