Voices in Action
Beginning February 2026
Wednesday
9:30-10:30
Ages: Middle School and Up
9-week course
In this course, students will engage in activism by identifying community needs they are passionate about and seek to address. Through collaborative efforts, participants will pinpoint key areas of focus, including social justice issues, environmental concerns, and other causes that affect both their local and global environments. Students will critically explore these topics, delving into the root causes of social inequalities, environmental challenges, and the urgent need for systemic change.
The course will culminate in a group project centered around a shared area of focus. Throughout the semester, students will develop and apply advocacy skills, building awareness and mobilizing action. The course will emphasize the importance of being a responsible, informed, and active citizen—working to identify problems, propose solutions, and implement meaningful change. Students will learn how to leverage community resources and drive grassroots campaigns while also assessing the impact of their efforts.
