"From Learners to Leaders: Empowering the Next Generation of
Changemakers”
Today's students have pressures coming at them from many different directions. The
Internet and cell phones relentlessly remind them of these pressures 24 hours per day.
Because bullying, drug abuse, and self-esteem constantly affect student happiness and
school safety, it has become crucial for students to step up as difference makers who
can generate a positive change in their lives. Presented by Jamar Root, TEEN TRUTH'S
#1 youth speaker, this session will empower students to identify the pressures they
face, find their voices, and take action to make a difference in their lives and the lives of
others!
