Student spotlight: Zara Jamshed and her work with @students.of.change

BVN sophomore Zara Jamshed co-founded Students Of Change, a student advocacy group that is currently focused on passing legislation prohibiting smoking in vehicles with minors present and spreading awareness about harmful bills that enable smoking. Students Of Change will also create informative posts about mental health, climate change and inequality to spread awareness.

“At Students Of Change, we are extremely passionate about different social issues. We believe that children are the very essence of the future. Who they are tomorrow is essentially the outcome of how they are raised and nurtured today. This means we all work hard to protect kids and other people when their rights have been taken away from them,” reads the Students Of Change mission statement.

Students Of Change has worked with various organizations, drafted legislation and will continue their work through meeting with city council members. Furthermore, they are currently working on getting many volunteer opportunities and internships which they will spread awareness about on their account, @students.of.change
