Milana Zuco on #DoBetterYoungLife

Do Better Young Life was started by Kent Thomas. He shared his experience on social media of being asked to leave Young Life because he is gay and used the hashtag #dobetteryounglife. Almost 1,000 people have since used that hashtag and shared their stories. #DoBetterYoungLife has quickly evolved into a grassroots movement to transform Young Life, encouraging the organization to live into who it says to be as a faith organization that loves and welcomes all. 

Milana Zuco, the social media coordinator for #DoBetterYoungLife is here today to talk to us about the movement, how it started, and what their hopes are.

About Milana in her own words:

My name is Milana Zuco and I am a 22 year old college student at North Carolina State University. I live in Raleigh, NC with my amazing partner and our dog and cat. I grew up in Chapel Hill, NC with my loving parents and three sisters. I attended Hillsborough United Church of Christ as a child and still consider the community my Home Church. In school, I am studying Elementary Education and receiving a dual licensure in Elementary Education and Special Education. Outside of school, I am the Social Media Coordinator for the Do Better YoungLife Movement. I share the stories of those who have been harmed by and feel outcast from YoungLife, a faith based organization. After my own tumultuous event with YoungLife, I stumbled upon the #DoBetterYoungLife instagram page and eventually became involved in sharing the stories of those who have been harmed by YoungLife.
