Opinion: How young people can make a difference - SilverKris

"Co-founded in 2015 to fill a gap in accessible, safe spaces for young people to navigate controversial topics around religion, this organization focuses on encouraging religious pluralism and changing mindsets by promoting respectful dialogue rather than demanding agreement. Framing respect as distinct from acceptance, it aims to model and teach inclusive attitudes in a multicultural context and to influence youth by setting examples of community involvement and character development. The group is currently self-funded and seeking seed funding to scale its programs and broaden its impact on social attitudes." - Rachel Eva Lim
