Why Change Agents

I found that surrounding myself with beauty through positive images, art, music, books and movies helped me transform my life. Recent studies of the brain prove that you can literally change how your brain operates by concentrating on positive thoughts. Identifying mentors and role models provided a critical link in my journey to radical change.

Here we share connections with inspiring artists, authors, musicians, actors, athletes, nonprofits, corporations and other change agents who are making a difference – especially for young people.

These organizations and individuals are working to address issues that in some way affected Sam on his journey.
