Do We Value the Children? | Ossco Bolton | TEDxKUEdwards
NOTE FROM TED: This talk contains a graphic discussion of violence and injury which may be distressing to some viewers. TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: http://storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdfIn his talk, Ossco will highlight the vital role that not only teachers and mentors, but also trainers and guides, play in a child's development. From infancy through adulthood, children need consistent, comprehensive support to truly thrive. When we equip them with the right tools and skills, we empower them to grow into confident, independent individuals. But our responsibility doesn't end there. Our greater mission should be to nurture children into becoming future mentors and guides themselves—individuals capable of inspiring and uplifting the next generation. Valuing the holistic development of every child is essential. By investing in their growth today, we’re laying the foundation for a future where they, in turn, can lead, support, and make a lasting impact on others. Ossco Bolton III’s journey is a powerful example of transformation and community impact. A former Kansas City gang leader, his life changed after the tragic murder of his 11-month-old nephew in 1993, sparking a deep personal awakening. He went on to found The P.O.S.S.E. (Peers Organized to Support Student Excellence), a program focused on preventing youth violence and promoting positive life choices. Ossco has also contributed to major initiatives like Operation Break and Build, backed by The Kauffman Foundation and AmeriCorps. His work has reached over 40,000 teens, 25,000 law enforcement officers, and 30,000 educators. Through partnerships with organizations like KCPD, the Kansas City Metropolitan Crime Commission, and LINC, Ossco continues to build safer communities through mentorship, education, and relationship-building. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx Receive SMS online on sms24.me
