So how does bringing together students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds enrich the leadership experience for both students and adults at JCF?

I think that, well, JCF is open to all sorts of backgrounds.

You can see that with my own background and my family history.

And now me being president, we do not exclude anyone and it is so unique here when we have our student advisory board meetings.

It is so unique to hear a room of 25 other students who may come from very privileged families or may come from families that may not have enough money to get food on the table and use some of the other services we offer.

Hearing their different perspective on all sorts of issues to combine into one solution.

It is so fascinating to be able to see and witness in real time all these people from 14 to 18 collaborate and get this done.

What inspired that project?
