They discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether that means climbing to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lacing up their boots for a hike, advocating for climate justice, or making their first best friends. They are finding their voices and making a difference on the issues most important to them, with the support of a community of millions from coast to coast and around the world.
