[staff] The Youth Leaders of the GK Annual Global Kids Conference
The GK Annual Conference was a strong testament of what our work means. What really touched me, more than the tremendous effort of the staff up until the event, and more than the incredible energy on the day of, was our own leaders, as we all stood behind them, knowing, that they had arrived.
They shined.
They led workshops on politics to an audience of councilmen and academics.
They questioned complacency.
They refused to become docile.
They reimagined democracy.
They participated critically.
They questioned authority.
They led.
In one day they captured the necessity of our work. They captured progress, and education.
No Annual Report could have prepared me for this very real accomplishment that Friday April 4th would be. It was a proud day for all of us as we stood behind our youth leaders. There was so much to learn that day, so much to feel a part of, and so much to be hopeful for.
