The goal: Empowering youth to become model citizens, to use their voices for the greater good and to participate in community action peacefully and thoughtfully. The workshops were created to help students understand these vital concepts and the powerful impacts humans have on each other and the consequences of being a bystander in the world.
Allyship declares “I will help you in this!” Advocacy declares “I support this!” Activism declares “I will make the ongoing, daily and personal choice to fight for this!"
PESA has and will continue to be a change agent for youth to find their voices and develop an interest in civic engagement. If you’re an educator interested in having this workshop or a host of others made presented to your class, contact PESA. ■
