Why do I work with college students? Why do I teach, advise and mentor the next generation of community and organizational leaders?
Here’s a short list:
- It’s fun.
- It’s energizing.
- We need them.
- We need them.
- We need them.
The immediacy of this moment will eventually shift. It seems impossible right now that those in power who abuse their power will someday not be there, but that day will come.
When it does, we need a group of qualified, engaged believers to take their places.
Qualified by their experience and their training; engaged by their commitment to bringing some humanity back to the human experience; believers in something larger than themselves.
Based on what I see in their eyes, in their hearts and most importantly, in their actions, we will be in good hands.
Those of us with the opportunity and the inclination to do so must help them. And then we must get out of their way.
They are getting ready. They are on their way. And when they arrive, we will all be the better for it.
