‘Make the Change truly impacted my life for the better. It gives students the space to discuss issues they are faced with daily and tackle subjects such as stereotypes, identity, culture and community. It provides students with the opportunity to have their voices heard while inviting them to expand their point of view . I will forever be grateful for the relationships I made through this program and the growth and progress I experienced. ”
