This summer as a Youth Advocate has been an amazing new learning experience. First and foremost, I learned the importance of leadership. Nothing could have happened without someone taking charge, helping us make plans, and insisting we set goals. Jessie, our irreplaceable supervisor and friend, has been a pivotal part of our developing a campaign. She taught us the hardships of making change, but also the nobility of doing work to better the community. She put together the details of our campaign activities for a car-free Prospect Park while allowing us to make decisions based on what we think would work.
