TEDxYouth@Columbia - Kevin Rabinovich

Published: April 1, 2017, 7:55 p.m.

b'Kevin Rabinovich has been working with TEDx since 2011 when he was 13. His story of how he\'s united 50 high schools in the state of South Carolina is inspiring. He started watching talks in the 4th grade and is now a mentor at 19.\\n\\nHe\'s the very example of on the job training, having worked on six TEDx events and being the organizer for the past four years. He believes that producing an event by youth, and for youth, provides a unique opportunity for time-stressed students to share ideas. He says that there\'s not a venue for idea-sharing for this age group. We love their concept of IDEA GRANTS.\\n\\nWhen I asked Kevin about his superpower, he wasn\'t keen on admitting one, rather he said, "I\'m accidentally good at a lot of what it takes I guess." Right. Another organizer that makes me feel like a slacker. I asked him what impact the TEDx experience has had on his life, "I now realize how important ideas are to society, and it\'s gotten me to look at many different career options that I\'d never have considered before."'
