This weekend, Nicole Hockley, co-founder and co-CEO of Sandy Hook Promise and mother of Dylan, who was killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School tragedy will share insights on transforming pain into purpose to combat social isolation. By drawing on their personal experiences with race, poverty, immigration status, learning differences, and gender identity, these students will learn to create safer and more inclusive communities. "Empowering young people as agents of change is crucial for creating safer schools and communities. Social isolation is a public health epidemic, but together we can stop it," said Hockley. Through programs like Sandy Hook Promises' Start with Hello and Beyond Differences' No One Eats Alone®, these youth leaders will return to their communities equipped to make a difference. #BeyondDifferences #BuildBelonging #SandyHookPromise #ProtectOurKids #YouthActivism #NationalTeenBoard #SHPAction
