I enjoyed learning about the work of YCSF and about Arden’s vision, and your involvement in sharing tools for activism and collective liberation. So cool!

Another great, well-written story. I'm so glad Zahra gets to benefit from the work both you and Arden are doing with YSCF. She loves the class, and I'm excited to see where it takes her.

Once again, Well done Ruby! We all need someone to kick us in the butt occasionally to make us think of others, not so fortunate as ourselves. June B

Good thinking Ruby. It is time the educational system globally has a new and up to date retooling to meet the challenges of future generations. Hopefully this will take place sooner than later.

I totally agree. I have thought about education reform in so many ways and it truly is fundamental at this day and age. Thank you for reading!

Ruby! So many young people want to be a part of changing things, but they don't know where to begin. I'm just thrilled that you discovered and opportunity, a group, that not only inspires, but also helps you build your own future toolkit. This story was one of your best, so far! Now, I can actually understand how collaboration with Arden, and her style of leadership, works! It seems like the course is a "launchpad" that helps train future leaders to see what they can accomplish - and how!
