Synopsis
Making an Impact through Life-Changing Action!
What happens when one student makes a decision to take action with a peer? A life-long impact that comes when one person steps out of their story and into another person’s – and not only changes the narrative, but even a culture.
Show Up Student Edition is a collection of short, inspiring stories of how students made a difference in the lives of other students who needed a meaningful moment, encouraging experience, or someone to just be a friend or take time to listen and care. Show Up’s two-part journey includes meeting fellow students who decided to do something different—despite busy-ness, biases, or unpopular circumstances—and motivation to develop a fresh, personal rhythm of life the world desperately needs.
