Activities

Are you interested in figuring out how to make impact on issues you care about, in and beyond your school and community?

Do you want to gain new skills, meet new people, analyze connections between issues you care about, and be supported in creating campaigns to help peers be more informed and engaged in key issues of our times such as affordable housing/gentrification, school segregation, criminal justice reform, and political polarization?

Do you want to understand the individual and collective power you(th) possess through voting and work at the intersection of activism, collective action, and electoral politics?
