YOUTH IN ACTION!



Code name Kids Next Door was a popular cartoon on cartoon network, this show, these characters and their missions continually painted an imagine in my head as I read this article "a world where youth hold the power'. Their daily televised missions consisted of taking the fight to the adult to gain freedom and power for all children across the globe. The kids next door teamed up with hundreds of kids stationed all over the world using gadgets, toy based weapons to be recognized individuals. Youth in action a providence organization which seems like it brought the cartoon to real life bringing the youth to lead with their own abilities to bring great change in hope for building a stronger community. Many children in poverty stricken areas wouldn't not get many opportunities as other kids of poverty. Many different aspects of life including school reform, politics, media, organizing,community health, entrepreneurial innovation, and creativity. Children are the future and children will be the ones to grow up and take care of us when we can not. It is brilliant to let the teens run the organization and be apart of every decision, that is something I wish  could of had or just experienced for a day. One powerful sentence I took was we must see the youth as a powerful asset instead of problems. Many adult figures see that the youth is something that needs to be fixed or too lazy, adults must put a hand in to help than correct.
