PLE II 2019

I was accepted to the Politics, Law and Economics session of the program! I decided to contribute substantially to cover the program’s expenses. I started and successfully completed an online crowdfunding campaign, I worked harder babysitting on weekends and tutoring on weekdays, I organised a flea market selling my old baby clothes. In the end, I was able to pay for my participation to YYGS! This added huge value to the whole experience.”

I am setting up sessions for the Role Model Mentoring Program (RMM), where senior high school’s students inspire girls and boys through their stories, experiences and results.

The RMM Program address college preparation. Recognizing that far too many young people in Italy enter their junior or senior years of high school without any notion of what is required for college admission, RMM Program will incorporate elements that support academic performance, college preparation and career awareness, for all participants.
