Sol Mates Campus Editors are the young activists who we honor here. They embrace their commitments with a passionate purpose. They get others to listen, learn and take action. We are privileged to bring you Campus Editors from colleges and universities around the country who share their wisdom with the Voiceyourself community. They generously give what time they can (between part time jobs, classes and some sleep) to make a difference on their campus and in their communities. You can be part of this initiative. If you have ideas that you want to bring into this mission please contact our team at solmates@voiceyourself.com.
Meet the individuals, read their statements and join the Campus Voice Forum in our Global Community.
