Young people inspire

I have hope when I work with and listen to our young people.

Many of our young people see things from multiple perspectives. They use pronouns that fit them. Some are gender fluid. They are not judgmental about these issues, but rather see them as true aspects of themselves and others.

Many of our young people are action oriented. They are intensely interested in climate change, which affects them greatly. Many are involved in Black Lives Matter and other movements. They show up at marches. They express opinions. They are strong and bold.
