Youth Empowerment

This workshop is ideal for Girls, Youth and Community Organizers and anyone wanting to maximize their community service goals. Considered the most essential focus of today's world, impressing upon your next current generation their role in their community, how to identify their calling, how to see their neighbor as an ally and how absolutely amazing they are is essential in our world today. Sande's book, Make A Difference 101, Community Service; A Practical Step-by-Step Guide for Kids launched a entire speaking and dynamic workshop program. Just given the simple tools, stories, and universal systems of looking at themselves and the world around them through the lens of compassion, youth ages 9-99 walk out of these workshops taller, inspired by their own creativity, and ready to go out and make the world a better place.​​
