An old adage that is often used to describe the unity, support and effort it takes to get something done, specifically to raise a child. The statement rings true for legislation and movements alike. It takes a group of informed, concerned citizens to raise a change!

During Charlotte, NC’s first Student Leadership Training, students from across the state gathered to network and learn skills that would empower them to take on whatever obstacles they’d face when back on their home turfs. With the help of Emmy-nominated Director and Filmographer, Bryan Wright, students also learned the importance of capturing and producing positive media with which to fuel their individual movements.

Each student was given a role in producing this mock Public Service Announcement. Duties ranged from directing to writing the script to adjusting the lighting and holding cue cards. In less than two hours, this group of informed, concerned citizens worked together to raise a change!
