Zach Hunter: Be The Change

Sixteen-year-old Zach Hunter is invited to speak to hundreds of thousands of people each year about his passion: ending slavery.  Most people think that slavery is long since over; they don't know what he knows - that there are tens of millions of people around the world, right now, who suffer the abuses of slavery.  Since he was 12 years old, Zach has campaigned to raise money and awareness to free people from slavery in all of its modern forms.  He founded the organization Loose Change to Loosen Chains and his best-selling book, Be The Change, offers insight for youth and adults alike who want to make the world a better place.  Zach will be speaking at YIM '08.

Zach is doing an amazing and inspiring job.
This year we're taking his wisdom to our
middle school students [last year we
had shared BE THE CHANGE with our
9th graders].
