Ayuda ante desastres desde la perspectiva de la juventud | Aaron Shen | TEDxAlmansorParkStudio

Los desastres causan muertes en cuestión de instantes, pero los jóvenes suelen quedar fuera del debate sobre la ayuda humanitaria. Esta charla TEDxAlmansorParkStudio de Aaron Shen explora cómo pequeños gestos, como donar suministros, pueden dar voz a los jóvenes en las tareas de socorro. Presenta la Public Health and Safety Youth Coalition (PHSYC), una iniciativa liderada por jóvenes sobre salud pública, preparación para emergencias y seguridad comunitaria. Según la descripción, desde enero de 2025 la organización ha donado cerca de 150 000 artículos de ayuda y ha impartido 30 talleres en el condado de Los Ángeles.

Disasters kill in an instant. Yet, with the large magnitude and scale of this devastation, youth are always left out of the conversation. This talk explores how small acts of kindness—like donating supplies—can help youth reclaim their voice in disaster relief. Through starting the Public Health and Safety Youth Coalition (PHSYC), I show how youth can rise up to create tangible change and build with, not for, communities. It's a call to be the next generation of YOUth: students, advocates, and changemakers. Aaron Shen is the founder of the Public Health and Safety Youth Coalition (PHSYC), a youth-led initiative that promotes public health, emergency preparedness, community safety, and civic engagement. Since January of 2025, PHSYC has donated nearly 150,000 disaster relief items to communities affected by the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires and underserved families internationally, including Indigenous families in Mexico and Venezuelan earthquake refugees. Through 30 workshops across Los Angeles County, Aaron has empowered more than 430 Title I students with essential emergency preparedness knowledge. By advancing disaster resilience and equitable access to public safety resources, Aaron empowers youth to create meaningful change in their communities. 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
