This is the ongoing story of my life, shaped by my family’s journey in a foreign land and my own relentless pathway to college."

关于我们
Youth Leadership Institute builds communities where young people and their adult allies come together to create positive community change. For over 20 years, we have sparked change through our California community-based programs--in San Francisco, Marin, San Mateo and Fresno Counties--and our national Training and Consulting Services. The Youth Leadership Institute leads the way in engaging youth in several key areas of community change, including food access, youth philanthropy, educational equity, civic engagement, and prevention of alcohol, tobacco, and other drug use. YLI is committed to engaging and developing young people of color, low-income youth, and other non-traditional leaders as agents for social justice.

"People say “Money can't buy happiness” but if money is the key for my mom not to worry and cry and fight with my dad, that would make me happy. It will make my siblings happy because my mom wouldn't have to work so hard and my dad wouldn't have to work so hard and could actually make time for me and my siblings. Whoever said money can't buy happiness must've never gone through my struggles." Click the link below to read the full story by Calafia Fellow, Alejandro Montano https://lnkd.in/gMqSUAAZ
