Mai vei ira na gonevuli ki na kenadau: Soldiers of Change veisiko na Wonderful Company itikotiko liu  

Ena yalodina me vakatorocaketaki na iliuliu ni veisiga ni mataka ena Central Valley, Wonderful College Prep Academy (WCPA) e dokadoka ni solia na parokaramu veivakauqeti ka taucoko ka vakarautaki ira na gonevuli ena kila ni bula taucoko.

Years ago, our founder Lynda Resnick had a revelation—students themselves were the most qualified individuals to market to their peers. Recognizing their unique perspective on barriers to health, she envisioned students as soldiers of change on campus. To empower them with the necessary tools and skills, WCPA introduced the Soldiers of Change program as an elective option, exclusively available for 10th-grade students. This program was crafted to impart practical knowledge essential for launching impactful marketing campaigns. These young and ambitious change-makers have embarked on a diverse range of topics over the years, adopting a holistic approach to health and well-being.

Annually, the Soldiers of Change class, consisting of twenty students, has the opportunity to visit the headquarters of The Wonderful Company in Los Angeles. They participate in leadership training sessions, tour the Wonderful Agency, and attend a panel where they interact with executives in the marketing field.

During the panel discussions, eager students hear from a diverse group of professionals in public relations, marketing, and talent acquisition. This inclusive panel includes entry and mid-level individuals who share their experiences, offering a wide range of unique perspectives and insights. Students also have the opportunity to meet with a panel of senior executives, including the president of The Wonderful Agency, the company's chief corporate affairs officer, as well as the Wonderful Agency's chief creative officer, and its senior vice president of account services. Each executive shares advice and listens to students' ideas for upcoming marketing campaigns.‍‍

‍Here’s what some Soldiers of Change students have to say about their visit to The Wonderful Company:

• "Oqo e dua na ilakolako totoka sara. Sa dua na ka totoka me da rogoca mai vei ira na lewe ni mataveivosaki ka ra se qai tekivu ga ena nodra cakacaka kei ira era sa sotava talega e levu cake na ka. Oqo sa vakauqeti au me'u vakadikeva na volivolitaki me vaka e dua na cakacaka."
