For almost 20 years Javier Sanchez has been inspiring and equipping youth and adults to be intentional about experiencing life to the fullest in a healthy, safe, and positive way. Through comedy, spoken word poetry, and powerful stories from his own life, Javier reminds audiences that their personal power to change their lives and change the world around them starts with the choices they make.

Young people gravitate toward, respond to, and are willing to learn from and work with the adults they feel truly care about them. Before the learning and development process can begin it is vital to establish a culture of care within our homes, schools, programs, and communities.  In his presentations, Javier inspires adults to walk away with a new or renewed passion for youth engagement while providing tools and resources that are immediately applicable, engaging, relevant, and fun.

Javier’s experience and expertise in effective student and community engagement and empowerment come from his work with the Youth to Youth International Program in the United States and abroad. He has written two books; Look in My Mirror for fathers and daughters, and his follow-up book is an exciting project for youth and adults entitled, From This Moment On: Personal Reminders for Massive Success at Home, at School, at Work, and In the Shower!

Sanchez will also speak to Glenbard students during the day as part of Live Life Well Week.
