I built Spin Up with the goal of giving all youth the opportunity that only some have: the chance to create the change they envision — with the support and guidance from other dedicated youth and industry leaders.

Working closely with many passionate youth — be it organizing team members, mentors, or student participants — has reinforced my belief that the hunger and drive of young people can truly be a catalyst for change, IF given the right support.

I'm glad that Spin Up will serve as that source of support for more than 600 changemakers to achieve their goals and I look forward to what our community will achieve in the coming years.
