Build and Share Power: Non-profits and movement leaders have traditionally not been present in rooms where governments and corporations make big structural decisions.

It’s Time To Be Courageous, Says One Young Leader In Zambia
But in her work with young adults, Christabel has observed a general detachment among the youth from matters of civic import, and she attributes the dispassion to limited resources.
