Building Skills and Friendship ENMLT Summit

Hello, my name is Katey Green, and I am a senior at Los Alamos High School. I am a part of the 2017-18 Evolvement New Mexico Leadership Team (ENMLT). As an Evolver I have had many great opportunities including leading 24/7 campaign event at my school for Kick Butts Day and meeting with my principal about the 24/7 campaign. I am super excited to be a part of ENMLT because of the great opportunities and experiences it will bring. The Evolvement New Mexico Leadership Team (ENMLT) Summit is a special event held for youth leaders across New Mexico that combines learning and fun to help the leadership team better understand their resources. It also allows the youth advocates to gain skills with Evolvement so they can properly execute their role as trailblazers in their school and communities. In July 2017, I attended the ENMLT Summit along with 11 of my peers, in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It was a great experience – I am not only a stronger leader but I am also a stronger person after attending it. At the Summit, I learned more about Evolvement and what I can do to better my school and community. I enhanced my public speaking skills, became a stronger leader, learned more about policy change and analysis, and gained expertise on our campaigns. I also received planning skills for trainings and events and learned the importance of staying organized. Most of all, I met great people and had so much fun getting to know other Evolvers across New Mexico. Being a part of ENMLT, I have realized that we, youth activists, are the building blocks for a better, tobacco-free future for our peers, and I am excited to lead others at my school. I look forward working with my fellow Evolvers to make an impact in my community through our campaigns.
