Impact Statement: Big Thought's mission is to "close the opportunity gap by equipping all the youth within marginalized communities with the skills & tools they need to imagine & create a better world" (Big Thought, 2020). Youth [in marginalized communities] can be left to believe that greatness is something that can never be achieved, but it is something that resides within them (Big Thought, 2020). By building a strong foundation provided by families and caregivers, [Big Thought] is an ally to young people's growth, helping people prepare them for further education, work and life". Through cultivating creativity, developing social and emotional learning skills, and empowering youth voice", Big Thought will help to foster the skills that the youth will need to thrive into adulthood.
