Laura White is a political economy and teacher certification student at Tulane University. Over her time at Tulane, Laura has led and participated in a number of projects related to social innovation and public service. These include a swimming program for at-risk youth, a social venture incubator, popular education study circles on social innovation topics, and helping develop a new major for social innovation and social entrepreneurship. In this video, Laura explains how change-making can lead to personal growth, and she encourages to find reasons to be involved in change-making. In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
