Youth & Society Honors

A summer service-learning course for students in grades 7-9

What is the role of a young person in today's society? What responsibilities and opportunities do young people have to affect their communities? This innovative curriculum integrates academic study with meaningful community service to create a powerful, eye-opening experience for young student leaders. Students examine the structure of communities and the different social, political, and economic factors that affect them. Through academic research, small group work, hands-on service projects, and facilitated reflection, students gain a deeper understanding of complex social issues and learn how young people can make a difference in their communities. Youth & Society Honors enhances critical thinking and problem-solving abilities, and prepares students for a lifetime of service learning and leadership.
