About all of us at "You Made A Difference"

In the face of a multitude of global problems, it can be difficult to feel like an individual or small groups can make a difference. Our minds and hearts are in the right place but what can one person really do? It turns out quite a lot.

Social impact is defined as the “effect an organization’s (or individual’s) actions have on the well being of the community.” For example, the organization Habitat For Humanity has a positive social impact on communities by providing houses for the poor.

For example: it’s the perfect time for all of us to reflect and remember just how much of an impact one person can make on the world. In Martin Luther kings iconic speech at the Lincoln Memorial for the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, King told America,

“I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

The social impact King had in the United States is tangible, lasting and real. All of us here at "You Made a Difference" believe in the power of individuals to make a difference and how one person can inspire and change the lives of many. In fact, it’s our mission.
