Each of us has the ability to create positive change in the world. Even seemingly small gestures can make a big difference. Nevertheless, as new challenges continue to emerge across the globe, we can sometimes feel helpless—unsure of how to make an impact, fix a problem, or make a bad situation better. Learning is a powerful force for good because it helps us understand the challenges we face, overcome feelings of helplessness, and realize we can make a difference—that we can create real solutions. Learning is how we can change and grow, and it’s a critical part of creating a more just and equitable world.
