2024 Leadership In Action is Getting A LOT of Applicants!
Do you know a high schooler who might benefit from this program! Tell them our Leadership in Action program's deadline is November 27!
Funded by the California State Library, this free program is a new and improved take on our previous Leadership program for high schoolers! During a 10-week period, our young cohort will learn firsthand from community leaders through guided tours, presentations, discussions, hands-on activities & more! Students will plan, collaborate, design, and execute group projects which address civil liberties infringements that are currently happening OR have happened (so as to prevent their happening again). Groups will then be given stipends to fund and carry out their civil liberties projects that will bring positive change to their communities.
