We’ve all had experiences where we felt empowered - whether listening to a motivational speaker or attending an inspiring conference. These experiences, while evoking strong emotion, often create only short-lived change.

To create long-term change in our lives, we must make the effort to look outside of ourselves each day. We must familiarize ourselves with the needs of our community to determine what actions we can take and what causes we can support that will have the most impact.

It starts with us. We can’t do everything, but we can make a difference.
