Mukiya
Youth Speaker
“When we face obstacles, we sometimes feel that we are not equipped with the tools to overcome them. We sometimes feel alone in our struggles and have difficulty finding others who can relate to us and our story.
When I faced with challenging situations, I frequently second guessed myself. I also would turn inwards, believing that others did not understand my experience, so there was no point for me to reach out for external support. We are all worthy of love, respect and admiration and we sometimes forget this when we are experiencing challenging situations.
I hope that my story can inspire others to see how powerful they truly are, and that we all have the ability to overcome life’s challenges using positive mediums. I also hope to demonstrate that although we often feel alone in our struggles, there is a vast support system out there and there are others who can relate to our experience.”
Join our Team
We are currently recruiting people who have a passion to contribute to the overall well-being of youth by joining our Board of Directors and/or other volunteer opportunities. The benefits of volunteering include excellent opportunity for involvement in a meaningful experience, the satisfaction of making a difference in the community and with youth, an opportunity to work with individuals of diverse backgrounds, the development of effective decision-making skills and an increased understanding of group dynamics and relationships.
