Youth Leading Systemic Change in America with the National Youth Leadership Council Ed Gap Evolution

 
This episode is also a 40th-anniversary celebration! Utilizing acts of service to create inclusion and community is an ideal that the National Youth Leadership Council was founded upon 40 years ago.
On March 16, 1983, Dr. James Kielsmeier founded the Minnesota-based organization. Since then, youth from around the country are empowered to become leaders in their lives and communities. 
 
In this episode, you will hear from NYLC’s CEO, Amy Meuers and Board Member, Zahra Ali. Zahra is also an undergraduate student at Oxford University, and has served in leadership capacities with NYLC since the 11th grade in high school. 
 
We discuss tips for busy parents who want to help their child get involved in improving their local community, as well as topics like:
 
The real reasons why elected officials in America are afraid of today’s youth and their ability to influence systemic changes that America’s leadership rarely wants to face head-on. 
 
A service-learning case-study where students successfully investigated and changed legislation that will continue to improve the lives of youth and their families for years to come.
