I was asked the other day, ”How do we get our youth to support their community?”
The biggest down fall adults have in guiding our youth is the false assumption that we know what our youth desire.
We are so focused on trying to get our youth to use the skills that they have and trained to attain that we have lost sight of what truly lies in their heart?
If we want our youth to support their community and more so to florish into the greatness that is within them, we need to take the time to help them realize what is within their heart.
What is it that they desire to do?
What drives them from within?
What is their passion and excitment?
Then help them pursue what lies on the other side.
In short, we need to start truly listening to our youth without judgement.
