1 Never too Young

Many young people want to help solve social problems but are convinced adults will not take them seriously. Offered as a smaller workshop or a school-wide assembly, we’ll introduce students to impactful youth activists from around the world.

2 Evening of action

Many young people – and adults! – want to get involved in community change but don’t know how to get started. We’ll organize an evening (or day) of action for students or the broader school community. Participants will take concrete action steps around social issues of your choice and leave feeling more confident about their very real capacity to improve their community. 

3 Leveling Up

Do you have a student government or advisory board that could be having a greater impact? During this workshop, we’ll work with advisors and/or the students themselves to develop a plan for strengthening their advocacy skills and exploring effective pathways to change.

4 How to make lasting change

Do you have an existing community service program or issue-based Club that could be having a greater impact? Effective advocacy benefits from a working knowledge of fundamental concepts such as root cause, systemic change, and stakeholders. During this workshop, we’ll explore these concepts as they relate to the issue focus of your program or Club. 

5 how to amplify youth voice

Would you like to incorporate youth voice throughout your school culture? We’ll meet with school leaders to provide an audit of your current approach and determine where student voice can be integrated and enhanced.

6 How to PERSUADE

Would you like to build the civic confidence and skills of community members concerned about particular social issues? During this workshop, we’ll help participants combine their passion about a social problem with a compelling case for change and a call to action.
