Monica sits down with Kym Prewitt, a longtime educator from Vestavia Hills, Alabama, to discuss the inspiring work behind co-founding Youth Leadership Vestavia Hills—a program that is transforming students’ lives by helping them discover who they are and how they show up in the world.Together, they explore the mission of Youth Leadership Vestavia Hills: to train students to become leaders who lead with respect for all, recognize the common ground we share in our humanity, our community, and our schools, and accept and celebrate differences as strengths in the social fabric of the community.This powerful conversation highlights how easy it is for students to feel lost within the education system—and how finding their sense of self can catapult not only academic success, but lifelong confidence, empathy, and leadership. Kym also shares how this proven Youth Leadership model can be adapted by educators and schools anywhere, and how its philanthropic arm, RISE, is making waves and creating meaningful impact far beyond the classroom.An inspiring and practical discussion for educators, parents, community leaders, and anyone passionate about developing the next generation of compassionate, confident leaders.
