A DIFFERENT WAY TO LEARN
Our students strive to create spaces of trust and democracy, ensuring that the division we see so persistently in our country right now does not become the norm. Through regional and national partnerships, students have the opportunity to meet, network, and lead with other students and adults from across the region, country, and world.
