Youth Hero of the Week: David Blumenkrantz & ROPE

David Blumenkrantz is a personal friend and a pillar of this work called Rites of Passage.  I quoted him a few times in the ROP short film with a mere fraction of his indispensable contributions.  He specializes in helping communities create their own culturally appropriate, geographically specific ROP for young people.  My dream for many years has been to hire David and his team to train a cadre of facilitators to bring this work to communities everywhere.
