My Nonprofit Reviews

NVEEE has changed my life. I first learned about the organization in 2013, at a leadership conference. I immediately felt a connection because I myself have been bullied in the past. The knowledge that I gained through the workshop led by the Executive Director, Jowharah Sanders, impacted me deeply. I finally felt empowered to be one of the upstanders that the world needed. In the summer of 2014 as well as 2015, I was a Jr. Staffer at the Peace Ambassador Leadership Summit. This summit not only provides youth with the knowledge they need to know about bullying and suicide prevention, but it also provides them with peer mediation training, a chance to show off their talents during the talent show and prom, and it also engages them in activities that allows for them to learn more about who they are. Now, in comparison to 2013 when I first learned about NVEEE, I am now the President of the Youth Advisory Council as well as a Senior Staff Specialist for PALS. I wouldn't be half the leader I am today if it wasn't for individuals like Jowharah, Grisel, Yakira, Dayliset and Ephraim who were willing to nurture me along the way. If you are looking to discover who you are as a person, help others in need or even meet other students who share the same interests as you while having fun, give NVEEE a try, you won't regret it.
