“Serving my generation with excellence will in turn mean my generation can lead with excellence.”
Onyi Anyado

“The ties that bind younger generations to the broader community are reciprocal, that is, when young people feel that the community cares about them and that they have a say in community affairs, they are more likely to identify with the community’s goals and to want to commit to its service. The evidence from prevention and community youth development studies is clear: When youths feel connected to others in the institutions of their communities, they are less likely to violate the norms and more likely to serve the common good of those communities.”
Christopher Peterson, Character Strengths and Virtues: A Handbook and Classification
