Our Youth Speak Up

About This Collection

Let's hear from our children, and their advocates, on the social, environmental, cultural, and economic concerns around sustainability and the call to always act responsibly and with the next seven generations in mind. The collection will also feature, from time to time, adults who are speaking on behalf of children. 

To add to this collection email children@earthsayers.com.  Thank you.

Isabella Wallmow, 2020 Brower Youth Awards Winner
October 20, 2020

While volunteering at a juvenile detention center, Isabella Wallmow, 20, realized incarcerated youth needed healing, not just punishment. Inspired by permaculture agriculture, she conceived a gardening program in 2018.

With support from the Resiliency Institute and enthusiastic detention center staff, Isabella launched the Seeds for Change Garden Program in 2019. This initiative creates a safe, healing space, empowering youth with marketable skills.

Seeds for Change prioritizes youth voices, allowing them to manage all aspects of the garden, from planting to harvesting. The program addresses food insecurity and provides valuable health education. Learn more at Brower Youth Awards.
