CP1005 CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUNG LEADERS
June 3 - 7, 2024
This week-long (35-hour) academy for high school students explores the importance of getting engaged in political, economic, and social conversations and empowers them to become agents of change in their local communities. Students will shadow city leaders, identify problems affecting their communities and consider solutions, practice public speaking, and participate in a mock council meeting – among other immersive experiences. The course will set in motion the formation of civic engagement habits to equip young people with the necessary skills for participation in community leadership, neighborhood empowerment, the legislative process, public engagement, and their responsibility to their community.
