Leaders 4SC is a summer workshop for middle school (rising 5th to 9th grade) students on writing and speaking, as well as leadership, communication, decision-making, and advocacy. Our goal is to train the next generation of civic leaders: members of a community who actively participate in society.

  2. Participated in daily discussions and activities on a different major current event every day
