YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM
Leading the way to social change and getting volunteer hours for college applications!
Our youth leadership and volunteer program empowers the young leaders of today to take a stand against gender violence and support our efforts in Colombia by raising money and getting volunteer hours and experience for their college applications!
​
This is a great way to learn leadership skills and practice compassion that leads to social change.
​
This group allows teens between 10-17 years of age to raise awareness and money to support Commit and Act’s Colombia Project.
