Perspectives was founded in 2005 to promote youth debate. Debate teaches students critical thinking and public speaking skills that helps students achieve in school and beyond. Through arguing both sides of a topic, students learn about the pressing social, political, and economic issues of our time, from globalization to human rights, and become engaged citizens and social activists. Perspectives’ work has been recognized by Senator Arlen Specter (R-PA) and Philadelphia Mayor-Elect Michael Nutter as a valuable organization for students.

I am part of a group of 65 teens at North Catholic High School, Pittsburgh, PA, who have written a booklet and powerpoint for middle school students. Our objective is to teach healthy eating, daily exercise, and portion control. We leave our school each day and travel to thirty or more middle schools in the Pittsburgh Area to spread the word about healthy eating , feeling well, developing an exercise regimen, and how to live long.
