One of my hopes for the International Congress of Youth Voices is that our delegates will speak out in the media, and that media outlets will seek them out when they want — and they should want — to hear from young people on issues that concern young people. Check out Salvador Gomez-Colon on CNN the other day, speaking about his nonprofit Light and Hope, which works in his native Puerto Rico. Salvador is only 16 but has the towering poise and passion of a born leader. -D.E.
