Aubrey's Story
Two and a half years ago, I was watching Good Morning America, transfixed by the young people on screen. I saw Dr. Eboo Patel, the founder and Executive Director of Interfaith Youth Core (IFYC), and a group of religiously diverse young people explain our duty to work together to better the world. I knew from that moment that I needed to get more involved in this movement of young people.
