Overview

Social media is not the enemy. It is what a person does with social media that makes it beneficial or detrimental to those who use it. Young Changemakers is a book that highlights the stories of 12 youth who have used social media in many different ways to make a positive impact in the world. They have used it to either spread light and hope, as a tool for learning, to reach out to other youth to collaborate on projects and to connect with adults for mentorship. These are just 12 of many young people who are doing the same! It is time to bring the voice of the younger generation, who truly want to make this world a better place, to the masses. It is time to spread the stories of youth making a positive impact to help other youth, who may be struggling at this moment, believe that they too can make a positive impact on those around them, whether big or small. It is time to use our voice to lift each other up and not break each other down. Be bold. Be brave. Be the light, and... Be the change you want to see in the world.

Author Information

Kristi Maggio is an entrepreneur in education and author of the award-winning book, Follows and Likes Is This All That I'm Worth? She is dedicated to creating access to education and employment opportunities worldwide. For over 20 years, she watched many children fail and feel inadequate merely because they didn't fit into the traditional way of learning. As a result, she chose to take action and founded a school that gives students the tools to create success in their life no matter who they are or where they come from. After starting Maggio Multicultural Academy in the Dominican Republic in 2016, Kristi's mission became clear, to impact the lives of 1 billion youth in the next 10 years by providing an educational program based on entrepreneurship and applied learning. It has become Kristi's obsession, to make a new ecosystem that provides youth with the skills they need before graduating high school, as well as diminish generational poverty. Kristi has had great success in building relationships. The content of the high school entrepreneur program comes from her interviews and relationships with some of today's top entrepreneurs and thought leaders including: JT Foxx, George Ross, Ramy El-Batrawi, Naveen Jain, Evan Carmichael, Forbes Riley, Sharon Lechter, and Sean Kanan to name a few. Kristi has been described by Naveen Jain as a great example of someone who is humble, and someone who is so dedicated to helping young people be at their best. I have learned just as much, if not more from her, and how she operates, than I have given back to her.
