Hi! I'm Austin. I'm excited to announce I've been invited to attend the Junior National Young Leaders Conference in Washington, D.C. I'm really looking forward to this opportunity and asking for financial support.

A little about me, I'm in 8th grade, I'm a member of the National Junior Honors Society, I'm a straight A student taking 3 high school level classes. I'm also participating in Odyssey of the mind, an international creative problem solving program.

You ask what will I get out of this conference. This will be a powerful experience, enabling me to interact with respected professionals in various fields, while building relationships with students who will be my future colleagues. Attending this program will allow me to further my interest in leadership and reach my career goals.

Imagine if you had been given this opportunity for a life-changing experience when you were in school and were unable to participate for lack of funds- that is why I am creating this go fund me. I am investing every dollar I can of my own money and taking on extra jobs to raise the funds needed.

Your support will be greatly appreciated!
