Leadership

Leadership…..

Can anyone be a leader?

I believe anyone can be a leader if they put their mind to it. I became a youth leader for an LGBT youth group three years ago. I work every week planning meetings and events for youth in the community. I have had the opportunity to meet many amazing youth and adults trying to make safe and thriving spaces for LGBT youth. I also became a leader at school, starting an anti-slur movement and the schools GSA. Being a leader is easy to do; the first step to becoming a leader is to find an passion you would like to get more involved in. Than find an organization that matches that passion, and run with every opportunity that comes your way. Volunteering is a great way to build leadership skills. Yesterday I received a Youth Leadership award for all my hard work, it was a great feeling being recognized, but I don’t do all this youth work for the LGBT community for attention or praise, I do it because I love working with youth, and helping people in need.
Remember I am always here for you. You are never alone.

Peace and Love
