Speak Up! Speak Out!
Since 2002, Speak Up! Speak Out! has empowered students from sixth grade through high school to become civic-minded leaders in their schools and communities. Through hands-on, project-based learning, students build the skills, tools, and confidence to identify local issues, explore solutions, and practice lifelong civic engagement.
Student-Driven Exploration
Students are responsible for determining the issues they wish to address and for developing practical, viable solutions, fostering ownership and leadership.
Developing Essential Skills
The program cultivates essential skills like collaboration, critical thinking, consensus-building, and effective communication that students carry forward beyond the classroom.
Student Voices & Civic Engagement
Students learn how to communicate their ideas as engaged community members, sharing their experience and insights with others to inspire informed civic awareness and engagement.
