Youth Activists

Nearly half the entire world population is under the age of 18. Young people can be very influential and bring changes for the good. You are going to read about four youth-led initiatives. Some of these examples are ongoing campaigns, others occurred in the past.

1 Because of bad air quality, kids were not allowed to go out into the schoolyard during the break in Salt Lake City. A group of fourteen-year old students from the local college, led by their leader Darcy Bright, decided to investigate the cause of the smog and found out that it was car emissions. These young activists drafted a petition and sent it to the state Senate. As a result, the law was passed that required signs at schools, airports and other hot spots telling drivers to turn off their engines after 15 seconds if they are not moving.

2 The new 'Pay it Forward, Pay it Back' law allows students to attend any Oregon university without paying a dime while attending school. Students will pay after they graduate by taking a percentage of their monthly paycheck. Tracy Gibbs, who was one of the initiators of this project, says, 'It was really surprising as a student to see how responsive the legislators are to hearing student voices. If more students voiced their concerns about student debt, I think we could get the result much sooner.'

3 Chloe Bates, a student in Pojoaque, New Mexico, didn't like beer billboards near her school. She contacted the state Office of Vital Statistics and other agencies to find out how many deaths in her county were alcohol-related, what percentage of those deaths involved underage drivers. Then she convinced the town to ban unsuitable alcohol billboards from areas near schools.

4 Another example of a young activist is Ron Nicholls. The 14-year-old boy single-handedly convinced the City Hall to stop a real estate developer from destroying a wildlife habitat. Now an $11 million condominium complex stands on an abandoned drive-in theater lot and not in a wildlife forest area in Chelmsford, Massachusetts.
