Why I Joined the Congressional Award

After getting involved in leadership during undergrad, I started to merge it with my passion for youth justice. I joined The Congressional Award to learn more about how leadership shows up in youth and witness the impact firsthand. I believe that instilling leadership in youth will create a successful future, especially in light of adversity.
