Like millions of high school students across the U.S., our National Youth Advisory Board members recently headed back to school. Here, a few reflect on this special chapter in their lives: their hopes, their everyday teen struggles, and their very real fears after school shootings like Uvalde. Still, they look forward to taking action with their peers to promote school safety, social inclusion, and violence prevention. Swipe left to read their reflections then click the link in our bio to meet all 13 members of the 2022-2023 Sandy Hook Promise Youth Advisory Board #SHPYAB, who lead Students Against Violence Everywhere (SAVE) Promise Club, our student leadership initiative. #SAVEPromiseClub @jadev.owens @dylan.fett @kkylierich @joelrm_ @aislinnkb9 @medhaforcebewith_you @noveenbb @sunny_daes_ahead @nationalsave #backtoschool #newschoolyear #empoweryouth #youthleaders #studentleaders #youth #student #sandyhookpromise
