Program Overview

Mission

Educational Justice offers a meaningful peer engagement experience to help middle school students enter high school academically prepared and socially engaged.

Program Description

Educational Justice brings together middle school students (in grades 5 through 8) with high school students each week in a secure online/in-person setting where they navigate a fun and engaging weekly curriculum to develop the critical skills students need to thrive in school and life. As middle school students grow social and emotional skills and gain inspiration from positive role models, high school students get hands-on opportunities to develop and practice leadership and professional skills.
