On this episode, we pivot to the most important topic and stakeholders in education: students. As the Director of the East Greenwich, RI Drug Program put it, “Kids are experts at one thing that adults will never be experts at. Kids are experts at being kids. I have to acknowledge that kids are experts of their worlds and they are experts of how they feel in their world”. For almost four decades, Bob has run the drug program in East Greenwich, and many are surprised to learn just how much of that work is prevention-based, youth led and community-driven. I’m excited for you to meet Bob and for the next episode, in which we will hear from a recent high school graduate who was involved with youth leadership programs in her high school and in her community.
