I Believe in Youth

For decades, the transition from childhood to adulthood has been challenging. It’s riddled with changes to body, emotions and friendships. And it’s in these critical years that teens develop values and beliefs that will echo throughout their lives. Over the last few years we, as a society, have made the teen age years even more painful. We’ve blocked teens from schools, separated them from mentors, and even shut down clubs, youth groups, and activities. Now more than ever teens need to hear positive messages from their mentors, teachers and family members. Teens need to hear “I believe in you”. We are inviting you to join us in this campaign to shout loud into the lives of teens “I believe in you”.
