Bri’Yonna Collins, Humanities Amped Alum (Class of 2016) and currently an Associate Producer at WAFB TV in Baton Rouge, recently shared the impact of Humanities Amped on her life: ​

​On day one, our teachers in Amped asked us: "What’s important to you? This is your class, how do you want to learn?" Coming from the neighborhood I came from, my mindset was, "I just need to survive." If my teachers didn’t care, I didn’t care. That’s what school was for me and many of my peers. Amped taught us that we’re important, and we’re smart, and we get to decide what we want to do. I learned that being educated is not just about scores and numbers, it’s about creating yourself. It’s not just what you learn, it’s how you learn. My experience in Amped opened doors that I didn’t even know were there. It gave me the confidence to know that I’m the only person that can stop me.

The fact is that Bri’Yonna walked into that 11th grade Amped classroom in 2014 filled with her own intelligence and spark. Through Humanities Amped, she was able to tap into her genius and amplify the possibility that is inherent in each person. Imagine a world where every student is engaged and empowered as Bri’Yonna was, and where every teacher has the tools to make that kind of learning possible.

Today, an Amped network of 500+ middle and high school students, teachers, school administrators, staff, and volunteers work together to amplify well-being, youth voice, and civic-minded problem-solving in public schools. Whether online or in-person, in after-school clubs or in classes enhanced with Amped curricula and the support of Amped staff, we are advancing transformative learning every day. 
​
An investment in youth expands possibilities. Our goal is to raise $80,000 by January 31, 2021, to cover this year’s unmet operating expenses. But we cannot do it without your support. Bri’Yonna gives to Humanities Amped because she holds the core Amped value of reaching back to the next generation. 

Please join Bri’Yonna in Amplifying Hope throughout our community. We need you now more than ever. ​​

Knowing that I have that support from teachers makes me not want to give up. I have a great appreciation for the way they teach us with great dedication and infinite patience.

BEFORE I GOT IN AMPED I WOULD HAVE NEVER SEEN MYSELF DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS. I CAN HONESTLY SAY IT HAS BUILT MY CONFIDENCE TO ANOTHER LEVEL. I FEEL LIKE I CAN TAKE ON ANY CHALLENGE THAT'S GIVEN MY WAY.​
