Amanda, Young Voices alumna, heads to PhD program

June 4, 2015 By Peter Chung Leave a Comment

“Young Voices was crucial to my development as a critical thinker and a professional. Young Voices was the place where I learned to look at systematic issues that affect me and know that I can play a role in changing them and have a voice. Young Voices taught me skills such as personal and non-profit fundraising, public speaking, advocacy and grass-roots organizing. I have carried the skills that Young Voices taught me beyond high school, through college and am now taking them into graduate school as I begin a PhD program at UT Austin. Young Voices taught me that I can be a beacon of positive change in whatever matters most to me and I have held on to that wholeheartedly. Because of the investment Young Voices made in me, I can now invest in my own passions wherever I go.” Read more
