Peer Leaders made the difference at Salute 2010 in Chicago!

Life Directions is dedicated to waking up young people to the value of self-responsibility. There were 20 such young people at Macy's to be the Living Thank You to our donors.

• One young person spoke in their name thanking those who make the reources of Life Directions available to them. As she was thanking them, she said "I am a student who goes to a failing school, but I'm a success!"
• Other student is writing an article for the school newspaper. She interviewed me and told me that the reason she is writing it is to promote Life Directions. It made such a difference in her life. She wants more of her peers to receive it!

They are Peer Leaders, turning lemons into lemonade and enjoying it.

Do you know peer leaders in High School? Why do you think they are leaders? Let me know so I can pass on what you think to the young people we serve!
