Last week, July 14-17, 10 of our 30 GUALAs were allowed the chance to experience a powerful leadership conference known as Youth Congress, along with 76 high school students from across the country!!
I'd have to say, again, the opportunity was one of a lifetime. I thought it was amazing to come together with 29 other alumni who shared similar experiences and feelings for GEAR UP, but to see 76 high school students come together with that same passion was unlike any other. During the sessions, students were exposed to quality teaching that involved showing gratitude, overcoming fears, and sharing ideas on topics such as Support, Dreams, Action, and Success...among a time of networking, developing friendships, and advocacy. I am so grateful to see the works of this program and the students that it serves! Below is a link to photos and other information about GEAR UP and Youth Congress. Please take some time to check out what WE are ALL about!!
