Maru Marathon Welcome 2012

Soulforce means young adult activism. Whether it's the Delegate Program or the Equality Ride, Soulforce's commitment to motivating youth leadership is unprecedented. As an almuni of Soulforce programming, I have benefitted from that commitment firsthand. Since my initial involvement with Soulforce in 2009, I have had experiences I never dreamed possible. From co-founding Georgia Safe Schools Coalition and helping to strengthen anti-bullying and harassment policies in my former school district to meeting President Obama and marching as a Grand Marshal in the Atlanta Pride parade, such achievements would not have been possible without Soulforce. Working with Soulforce helped me realize my own power in creating real, sustainable change and doing so in a way that fits my personality and highlights my talents.
