The Vision Lab: Youth Voices for Change
The Vision Lab is a project created through the Girls Write Now Lead Incubator Journey. Here, young change makers share their stories, projects, and insights as they work to make a difference in their communities and the world. Each episode is hosted by a Lead Incubator mentee who invites an expert to join them in the conversation about their social activism and community-driven work. Listen in as they explore big questions, bold ideas, and the vital role young leaders play in creating meaningful change today.
