Say hello to Fernando Harrison, one of the seven winners of a Young Visionaries Starter Grant at the 2019 Pave the Path.
Fernando Harrison
Fernando is a sophomore at New Tech Academy who plans to form an addiction academy for teens.
His motivation is strong because he has personally seen the effects of addiction in his family. Fernando knows firsthand that teens are NOT taught about how it affects you. So he plans to remedy that.

Fernando has already started learning what he needs to know. His Pave the Path mentor has connected him with someone who runs an addiction clinic in New York City. He will continue learning after he graduates from New Tech Academy, when he will study Psychology and Business at university.
