TeenSpeak Today for the Leaders of Tomorrow works to eradicate the apathy and complacency many teens feel about the world and their future in it. Growing up in a world of instant information, much of which is negative, provocative and sensational, causes despair and hopelessness to permeate the younger generation. Today’s young people need a publication that allows their voices to be heard and presents a healthy perspective on the world. TeenSpeak Today for the Leaders of Tomorrow focuses on positive role models and stories that tackle the issues we confront as a society. TeenSpeak Today for the Leaders of Tomorrow offers hope for the future. The Institute for Young Journalists is the tax-exempt non-profit organization that publishes TeenSpeak Today for the Leaders of Tomorrow. This quarterly was established in 1999 by Debra Mamorsky, who serves as its Editor in Chief. Mrs. Mamorsky is a former publicist and former reporter for The Journal of Health Care Benefits, a professional health care publication. She founded TeenSpeak because she is passionate about positively influencing youth today, inspiring them to become the leaders of tomorrow. This is largely achieved through interviews she coordinates with people who are leaders by example representing all walks of life. These prominent people in our world demonstrate the leadership qualities to which young people can aspire. Here are just a few examples of the political, cultural, and sports figures who, by example, help to inspire young people through our pages: The importance of TeenSpeak cannot be overstated in a world where misconceptions fuel fear, hatred and often erupt in violence and terrorism. Enabling young people in the United States to reach out to their peers around the world and have meaningful communication about the problems we face is incredibly important. We believe TeenSpeak offers our reporters and our readers very valuable information and more importantly an enhanced understanding and respect for other people we only really know from what is shown through the small television lens that often selects out only bad news. In order to continue publishing TeenSpeak and broaden our reach to include more young people around the world and share their invaluable stories and insights, we need your help. |
