When the opportunity came to help young people see their own potential and see themselves as problem-solvers, it was an opportunity that I couldn’t turn down.
About Dustin
- Growing up, I spent a lot of time helping and learning from my mom, who was very engaged in the community.
- Throughout high school, I focused on learning about ways that individuals could play a larger role in their community—I became very involved in local politics and community organizing.
- I went to Cornell University and earned my bachelor’s degree in industrial and labor relations, through which I learned about the ways we can help people work together to achieve a common goal.
- I continued to take on roles within the spheres of social change, education, and global citizenship.
- In 2020, I was appointed as the ninth UNA-USA Youth Observer to the United Nations—my role is focused on engaging youth with the work of the UN and helping them see themselves as problem-solvers.
