We are all young at heart and for some of us it shows in the things we choose to do. This year I decided to volunteer at the first ever We Day California as a Senior Crowd Pumper. What does it mean to be a Crowd Pumper you ask? Well, it is a high energy, over enthusiastic position who’s purpose is to not only to pump up the thousands of youth in the venue through excessive cheering and dancing but also to be a Free The Children (FTC) ambassador. FTC is an international charity and educational partner, working both domestically and internationally to empower and enable youth to be agents of change, co-founded by brothers Marc and Craig Kielburger. Through their holistic and sustainable development model called Adopt a Village, they work to remove barriers to education and to empower communities to break the cycle of poverty. It’s a pretty powerful movement if you ask me and one that I am proud to personally support. I am thrilled to be a part of this amazing day of youth empowerment through action and change.
