The answer is simple: youth as agents of this change. This conversation will focus on implementing student-driven, service-learning program models in schools. These models include student help desks, tech clubs and in-class project-based support around the use of digital media. These models are lead by youth, for youth, in a cascading mentoring continuum involving recent high school graduates, high school students, and K-8 students.
