"The problem I am trying to solve is ending teen dating abuse in our communities. The community I am helping is Mille Lacs County in Milaca, MN. I work for an organization known as Pearl Crisis Center where I lead a teen group called "Teens Against Dating Abuse". This group is made up of 90 Mille Lacs County Teens who work together for a common goal, reaching out to victims of violence and ending abuse by educating communities. " - TADA
