Aracellys Soto, Sofia Flores and Joediel Reyes were part of the 50 young people from the United States and Puerto Rico who presented at the National Advocacy and STEM Summit. \u201cThe NASS Summit 2023 of the Center of Transformation has been an experience that will trace the route between Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico (BGCPR) and Boys & Girls Clubs of America, strengthening and positioning Puerto Rican youth globally. The participants demonstrated their leadership and commitment to achieve justice in the management and access to drinking water in their communities, with their environmental awareness project. The proposals of your project are a step forward in advocacy initiatives to stop climate change,\u201d said Keila Rodr\u00edguez, manager of the educational pillar at BGCPR.<\/span><\/p>\n

For their part, the young people who honored the youth of Puerto Rico, expressed the importance of this experience to “be able to raise my voice and make the situations of Puerto Rico be recognized,” according to Aracellys. For his part, Joediel acknowledged that \u201cfrom this experience I take new knowledge, new perspectives and the responsibility of being part of a great change. For Sof\u00eda \u201cwith this great achievement we want immediate action to be taken with water reservoirs and create a mandatory dredging law. Thank you for the opportunity for growth, I just did my bit to make the change that we so badly need happen.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico seeks to offer the best opportunities for the development and greatest potential of our participants. \u201cI am grateful to represent Boys & Girls Clubs of Puerto Rico, I hope to be able to inspire other young people to follow in my footsteps\u201d, as Aracellys expresses it, for our young people to participate and represent Puerto Rico<\/span><\/p>\n
