MORE ABOUT OUR GUEST, NORA KRAMER __________________________________________________________
A committed activist for over twenty years, Nora has worked on several causes including racism and gender equality, climate change, poverty, animal rights, gun violence and more. In her twenties Nora realized no effective training existed to help young people who wanted to make change. Believing “if someone is old to enough to realize there's a problem, they are also wise enough to be part of the solution,” she also knew it can be difficult to know where to begin or how to deal with the many questions and challenges that come up along the way. Nora devoted the following eight years to gaining the education and experience, then launched YEA summer camp for youth ages 12-17 in 2009. YEA camp has also taught aspiring adult activists and provides on-line training sessions. YEA has now trained close to 2000 individuals how to effectively create powerful change in the world.
