Springfield (MA) Public District will work with all schools on a Youth Participatory Action Research Project with a large youth-adult team. They will begin this work with a Leadership Retreat.
UP for Learning will plan and facilitate 4 half day training sessions and 4 hour-long in-school meetings to engage a team of 15-20 4th and 5th grade students and 2-3 adults in exploring topics such as community, belonging, values, leadership, restorative practices and facilitation as they align with identified school and district priorities.
U32 Middle/High School Student Council will work with UP to better understand the WHY, WHAT and HOW of being leaders and facilitating with a peer group at their own school. This is their third retreat.
At UP for Learning, we believe we all must play our part in uprooting and rebuilding the systems behind inequities.
For our part, we commit to continuing our work to become an inclusive, anti-racist organization and community. We commit to continuing to listen, change and grow.
