Mission YouthVoice

So not everyone wants to sacrifice precious Saturdays in hard labor, which is perfectly understandable. Many young people may question why anyone would do it ما بكفينا شغل الجامعة؟ What these people don’t know is that our labor is worth the fruit it will produce. We do it because we feel the opportunity is too great to miss, because it would be unreasonable not to venture ahead and because this is not coursework!

الجامعة شي واليوثفويس شي let’s make that distinction. This is more real than anything you will pick up in class, this is about what goes on in the streets, our streets and it doesn’t get rawer than that. YouthVoice is a rare chance to apply our passions, skills and talents to a cause with a platform. The exposure you get here goes far beyond cramped classrooms in which your assignments are forgotten the moment you receive the grade. There is no grade here but rather something more rewarding than that: recognition and the power to change.

This country has been stagnating for decades, that is not to say going backwards دق المي بتدلا مي and nothing ever changes. Lebanon is ailed with ancient convictions, the political scene is inherited from father to son, the story has been told a thousand times before by outdated minds that contradict the modern evolving word. YouthVoice is a fresh breath and it’s telling a different story by younger people with healthier views. To be part of that through contributing your voice in the form of an article is the definition of power.

When you’re young is when you are restless, when you’re always looking for adventure, whatever form it may come in. One of the greatest adventure one experiences in a life time is fighting for a cause they strongly believe in and I think it goes without saying that this country is a cause for anyone growing up here today. We are Lebanese and we wouldn’t call ourselves anything else, we are not driven by sectarian divisions and trivial labels, prove that through YouthVoice.
