A youth ambassador for a local nonprofit says being a part of the organization has changed the trajectory of her life.
Isabella Caviness, who attends Westlake High School, joined 21st Century Leaders in April. She credits the organization — which provides year-round programs, training and summits for high school students — with giving her a platform to utilize her gifts and build confidence, all while preparing her for college.
“I wanted to become an example for others as a leader, and I wanted to help others in my community,” Caviness said.
On Thursday’s edition of “Closer Look,” Caviness, Kate Hewitt, executive director for 21st Century Leaders, and professor Jacque-Corey Cormier, a 21st Century Leaders alumnus and volunteer, talked with host Rose Scott about the mission and the core values of the nonprofit.
Guests also discussed the importance of diverse leadership and why they believe it’s essential for students to take action and lead in business and in their communities.
