Youth-2-Youth HPE is a youth led group with a mission to spark innovative thinking and work in partnership with community leaders to help increase solutions to local problems – identified by youth. 

The PlatForum Academy's Rural Youth Entrepreneurship Program gives local mentors and parents the content and community they need to confidently walk kids through the process of identifying a passion, and turning that passion into a business they are proud of! 

If technology is now everywhere in our lives, it can be challenging to examine one specific digital device or skill. My Ph.D. research focuses on exploring digital tools and skills used by rural youth and understanding that tech use in a rural setting.
