Supporting Your Teen’s Passion for Activism

In times of great social change, it is often teens and young adults who find themselves at the forefront in advancing toward progress and reform. This has become increasingly true in the past few years as the movement for black lives, the LGBTQ+ rights movement, and the efforts to combat climate change (among others) have gained momentum and visibility. Some say that increase in visibility is tied directly to the advent of social media and the ways in which it has impacted how people connect with each other and share their experiences and passions.
