“Democracy Camp aims to bring out the importance of not just democracy but the power of our voice, and to demonstrate that democracy, at its core, is a way of using our voices, as Americans are able to elect representatives that express our voices.”
“I would consider myself a change maker because I am willing to put the effort and commitment into trying to make changes for the better. I’m very passionate about education and redesigning schools to fit student interests and needs.”
Amoy Chambers

“I would describe myself as a change maker because I always advocate in the things I believe in. If I believe that there is a change that needs to be made then I will work my hardest to make it happen, or at least spread awareness about it.”
