Youth Stories

      

These two programs [YES and iEARN] have given me the tools, experience, and friends I needed to help not just the people in my country but also the people from different countries. They have shown me that anything is possible, all I have to do is not give up.

It broadens the perspective of whatever you are doing. It is a family that is trying to pull us together from all the different parts of the world. That is what iEARN is for me.

The youth summit made an impact on me because it made think outside the box and come up with ideas about how to help other students around the world. I will be piloting a project in which peer tutors from my school are matched with students in Turkey who need tutoring in math and english. I learned about many helpful platforms and will use these to facilitate online tutoring.
