“When done right, school is more than a collection of assignments. It is a vibrant social fabric that provides a culture of belonging, and opportunities to grow and explore with trusted adults guiding the way.” Check out what Jill Bass, Chief Education Officer at Mikva Challenge had to share with @nytimes on how to reduce student absenteeism. https://nyti.ms/4aXDn7a

When students take the stage, they aren't just speaking; they're igniting a movement. They're amplifying their voices, sharing their stories, and demanding to be heard. Whether they're advocating for educational equity, social justice, or environmental sustainability, their passion and conviction are palpable, and their impact is undeniable. We continue to be proud of all of our youth leaders who represent Mikva Challenge! #mikvachallenge
