Staten Island students showed up and showed out at the Staten Island SoapboxNYC Preliminary Round on Jan. 16! These incredible young leaders took the center stage to voice the pressing issues impacting their community, presenting thoughtful and passionate ideas. Students also had the opportunity to connect directly with local community members and policymakers who can help bring their ideas to life.

Just two days left in the year! This is your last chance to make a difference and support Mikva Challenge as we strive to empower the next generation of civic leaders. With your help, we've celebrated 25 years of service and impacted more 1 million students. Your contributions are crucial for us to reach our ambitious goals for the coming year.
