Two Upper Schoolers Selected to Join Heyer Voices

Tandem juniors Leah Gunnoe and Suraya Whynott applied to and have been selected to be participants in Heyer Voices, a local nonprofit founded to "support Charlottesville area youth (high school juniors and seniors) to: 1. Cultivate self-awareness, empowerment, and skillfulness to change the world from “the inside out.” 2. Develop and implement innovative projects using non-violent direct-action." Heyer Voices is part of The Heather Heyer Foundation, which was created in response to the death of Heather Heyer to "support young people in their pursuit of social justice and unity." Leah and Suraya will be attending workshops and planning innovative and empowering projects for several months, with a final December capstone event. Heyer Voices is lucky to have two young Tandem leaders join their organization - we know they will put what they learn to work as they help create a better world. Well done, Leah and Suraya.
