"Optimism isn’t necessarily forcing yourself to be happy all the time. Optimism for me is about allowing yourself to feel all your emotions and being kind to yourself this way. Then we can start to see the light in darker situations." Lila, YAC Member - Class of 2023 #iwill10

It's day 2 of #iwillweek2023 and the last day of Global Entrepreneurship Week! 🥳🎉 Throughout today we will be shining a light on young entrepreneurs who are designing new approaches for social action projects. #WeWill #WeWillOrmiston #Entrepreneurship

Kicking off with DigitalCitizenfund an organisation founded by sisters Elaha and Raya Mehboob. The organisation helps females get access to technology, and develop the necessary skills for a global market, notably in developing countries. #iwill10 #YouthEntrepreneurship #WeWill #OT

Spotlighting another dynamic duo organisation, Kids Against Plastic, founded by Ella and Amy at the ages of 12 and 10. The pair have passionately campaigned to reduce plastic pollution through their dedicated organisation. #iwill10 #YouthEntrepreneurship #WeWill #OT

Sticking with tackling plastic, Ben Stern founded Nohbo as a passion project whilst at school and has since turned his project into a material science company innovating on ways to solve the plastic waste problem. #iwill10 #YouthEntrepreneurship #WeWill #OT

Our next rising star is Omari McQueen, who began a remarkable culinary journey at the age of 7. Experimenting with plant based foods to tackle healthy diet choices. His food project has become a national campaign. You can find Omari cooking at festivals, #iwill10 #WeWill
