Sarah Hernholm: Sarah Hernholm is passionate about teen leadership and social entrepreneurship. She knows that teens have incredible ideas for how to make the world a better place and believes the world needs to hear them! As Founder and President of the non-profit WIT-Whatever It Takes, she spends her days meeting incredible teens who want to change the world, as well as community members and businesses interested in supporting teen entrepreneurs.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
