Tweens Can Change the World at the JCC; Empowering 6th-8th Graders to Make a Difference

SPONSORED

In this program, tweens will have the opportunity to explore, connect to, and more deeply understand the issues that affect our city and our world.
Together, students will choose one or more issues (such as hunger, homelessness, poverty, climate change, immigration, or education). Students will learn about the history and current events related to the issue(s) they select, explore root causes, and discover new solutions.
As a group, participants will meet with change-makers young and old and roll up their own sleeves to start making a real difference. The class will be hands-on, age appropriate, and inspiring. Your tweens can change the world–you know it, and so do we!
13 Tuesdays, Oct 9-Jan 15, 4-5:30 pm, $325/$395
For more info and to register, click here.
Note: We will award community service hours to students for whom the program meets their school’s requirements.

Please limit comments to 150 words and keep them civil and relevant to the article at hand. Comments are closed after six days. Our primary goal is to create a safe and respectful space where a broad spectrum of voices can be heard. We welcome diverse viewpoints and encourage readers to engage critically with one another’s ideas, but never at the expense of civility. Disagreement is expected—even encouraged—but it must be expressed with care and consideration. Comments that take cheap shots, escalate conflict, or veer into ideological warfare detract from the constructive spirit we aim to cultivate. A detailed statement on comments and WSR policy can be read here.
