I serve as the executive director for the Encampment for Citizenship, a social justice youth leadership development program for youth from around the country. I work from the premise that we are all teachers and learners and leaders and followers. I believe that youth — and people of all ages — need the opportunity to develop their own voices and experience the power of community, collective creation and action. In my work I am very fortunate to see the creativity and power that youth manifest when provided with the opportunity and support. It is that power and spirit that gives me hope.
