Teens Making an Impact: Elliot Sarrey, Brooke Martin & Robert Saunt

Teens Making an Impact

Many teenagers today are concerned about their places in the world and their roles as global citizens. They’re developing a sense of social responsibility. They’re also developing a personal sense of values and looking for role models. This month, we’re pulling from our programs for teenagers to share real stories of teenagers who are making an impact on their community and on the world.
