Damon Robinson is an outreach coordinator for CNC’s student union
As an advocate for youth and post-secondary students, Damon Robinson has decided to run as a trustee for the School District No. 57 board of education in the upcoming municipal election.
“With my experience in lobbying and as an activist, I found belief in myself being a new voice for our community. We need diverse perspectives, and I fit that type of role.” “Change is possible, and we shouldn't be afraid to speak up as a community for more from our government. I believe my experience as an advocate for those in need will play a significant role in my work as a school trustee.”
“I believe it is our responsibility as a community to set our youth up for success, and while some are succeeding in our current system - there are many who are falling through the cracks. Every student has something of value to give to our community, so it is crucial for us as people to build up our children to be the best version of themselves.”
