Gabe Salazar, Teen Expert and Motivational Speaker

About Gabe Salazar

Gabe Salazar overcame obstacles of homelessness, hopelessness, and gang influence to become the first in his family to graduate from college. Now, he travels the world making teens laugh and inspiring them with his message of hope and making positive choices. Gabe reminds students that no one is born on accident. Everyone has a purpose, and he wants to help young people figure out how to dream BIG and succeed for their futures.

Gabe also speaks to educators and staff about the importance of remembering their “Why.” Education is not just a career—it’s also calling, and Gabe has a powerful story of how his own principal served as a mentor to inspire him to go to college and do GREAT things in his life.

Gabe speaks at over 200 events each year. He has spoken to millions of students and educators all across America, and we look forward to partnering with you as well!
