As a budding changemaker in her early twenties, Nora realized no effective training existed to help young people who wanted to become activists. She realized it can be difficult to know where to begin or how to deal with the many questions and challenges that come up along the way. Despite these challenges, young people are asking more and more questions about the challenges we face in the world, and many want to make change happen.

“If someone is old to enough to realize there's a problem, they are also wise enough to be part of the solution.”

Nora devoted eight years to gaining the education and experience she needed to prepare her, including getting a degree in teaching and working in a high school teaching English. She launched the Youth Empowered Action Camp, or YEA (rhymes with hay) Camp, in 2009. Along the way, YEA camp has also offered courses to aspiring adult activists and often provides on-line training sessions. YEA Camp has trained close to 2000 individuals to effectively create powerful change in the world.

Nora is also the author of Beginners Guide to Changing the World, an e-book designed for all ages. (Download a free copy here.)
