During his time in South Africa, Jeremy Weinstein immersed himself in local culture and education, aiming to foster citizenship in youth born as second-class citizens.
"There's this extraordinary moment of change in a country that, like the United States, has race and identity as a critical feature... Maybe there's something really important for me to learn."
Weinstein believes that engagement in global issues and deep cultural immersion can profoundly shape one's understanding of democracy and public service.
He reflects on how his upbringing opened his eyes to various injustices, driving his desire to contribute meaningfully to social change.
