Kadisha says that these tools help students meet their volunteer service requirements and also better connect with the communities they are a part of.
“They went out, they did shopping for our senior citizens, they convinced local restaurants to stop using single-use plastics, or at least be more conscious of it. And we think we mobilized our 45,000 students to get involved in their communities in ways that we hadn’t been thinking about before,” said Kadisha
He also said that he’s excited about the future and so are the people around him, thanks to Treedom.
“What we’ve seen from the students… is a very strong emphasis on their power and their voice and their contribution. They understand that the future is theirs. There’s no question about it … That’s why we’re seeing them invest so much in climate change. It’s why we’re seeing them try to invest in their communities in ways that are quite inspiring,” Kadisha said.
“They’ve even organized groups to safely go door by door, trying to get their community to vote, and with that, I think we can be very optimistic about the future of our children.”
