Be the great connector.

Once young people have started to explore and discover their own skills, talents, personalities and passions, they need to find ways to put those strengths to work—to create, to invent and to serve by giving their talents and energies.

Look for ways to connect youth with other supporters and opportunities to further explore and develop their interests. You might connect youth as interns, volunteers, lunch buddies or even virtual conversations. Encourage young people to be brave and try new things.
