She agreed, and tipped me off to an <a href=\"https:\/\/brenebrown.com\/podcast\/sage-warrior-wake-to-oneness-practice-pleasure-choose-courage-become-victory\/\">interview<\/a> with academic and podcaster Brene Brown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember619\">Reflecting on the hopelessness she\u2019s seen in younger generations, Brown shared that hope is not an abstract concept.&nbsp; Rather, hope is a combination of <em>goals<\/em>, <em>plans<\/em>, and <em>agency<\/em> \u2013 that you know what you want to accomplish, how you\u2019ll accomplish it, and that you believe you can do it.&nbsp; She went on to add that agency is felt most acutely when you\u2019re hands on with the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember620\">This is core to what we do at LearnServe.&nbsp; Our LearnServe Fellows have spent the past five months thinking about the issues that \u201cpiss them off,\u201d the injustices they feel someone has to address, and researching those topics inside and out.&nbsp; Last week they pitched those ideas at our Innovators\u2019 Cafe.&nbsp; And starting this week they\u2019ll dive deep into planning and action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember621\">This is a powerful process.&nbsp; We know that doing the work of creating social change \u2013 and feeling supported in doing the work \u2013 helps young people discover their own power as changemakers.&nbsp; And it helps them feel hopeful as they continue that work to make positive change in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>\u201cThrough LearnServe&#8217;s guidance, my anger turned into passion and my passion turned into action.\u201d ~ Noah Dyson, LearnServe Fellows facilitator, alumnus, and Founder, The Love Catalyst<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember623\">It is a complicated world that today\u2019s high school students are growing up in.&nbsp; It was well before the 2024 U.S. presidential campaign, election, and yesterday\u2019s inauguration &#8211; and that is likely to continue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember624\">It is especially complicated for young people who have no say as voters, but feel the consequences of those votes.&nbsp; For the young people who, like many of our students, feel like they live on the margins \u2013 outside what they perceive as mainstream American society, with little say in how others look at them, or how others treat them.&nbsp; For the young people who feel the fear, anxiety, and trauma of what is happening around them, but feel powerless to do anything about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember625\">In moments like these, I am grateful for the LearnServe community, and the opportunity that we have, working together, to help our students make sense of \u2013 and find their place in \u2013 this complicated world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember626\">We aspire to build communities that are\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Grounded in empathy and understanding, even across difference<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grounded in the complex realities of the present, while being guided by what is possible for the future<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grounded in a belief in the power of young people \u2013 and all people \u2013 to create positive social change<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grounded in the knowledge that everyone is worthy of love, respect, and being listened to, even when we disagree<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grounded in the understanding that we are strongest when we work together<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Grounded in action<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember628\">Communities like these remind me that when we come together \u2013 across race, class, nationality, politics, and more \u2013 we are stronger than those who seek to divide us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember629\">In each of the young people we are working with, we are planting the seeds of confidence, of hope, of agency, of resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember630\">And through each of them we are planting the seeds for a better future for all of the communities that they \u2013 and we \u2013 are part of.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p id=\"ember631\">In the coming months I look forward to following, and sharing with you, what it looks like as these students and their ideas begin to flourish.&nbsp; (You can get a sneak preview through our <a href=\"https:\/\/learn-serve.org\/blog\">blog<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/learnserve\/\">instagram<\/a>.)
