During a time when many people are introspective, Generation-Z (those born in the late 1990’s and early 2000s) is taking action. In between home learning classes, high school students throughout the City are channeling an entrepreneurial spirit to meet philanthropic ends. Feeling helpless in the midst of a pandemic, teenagers are anxious to do “something” to give back to the community.
During her second week of home learning, Hope Shinderman, a junior at the private Harvard-Westlake School, decided she was tired of being bored. She wasn’t alone. “I was just so impressed by how well my own teachers were handling the change and felt so thankful that I was able to receive such an amazing education, despite being unable to attend physical school,” Shinderman told the Courier. “However, I know many students aren’t receiving adequate enrichment at this time.”
