"I’ve always been deeply impacted by social change and outraged at a lot of the events going on in our world, but felt like I had no clear actionable steps to take to help.
Electric Potential gave me a starting point for me to take action and connected me with so many others who felt the same way I did."
-Florence L.
"The EP community is an inclusive space that has not only allowed me to share my own ideas but also learn so many things from other members! Being a part of the community has made me feel so much more inspired and motivated on my social change journey."
- Amy N.
"Electric Potential taught me not only what global issues are currently impacting people around the world, but what steps I can take to advocate for solving them. I love how I’m in a community of young people just like myself, and am always learning something new."
- Nora R.
