RSVP NOW: Project Soapbox IL!

December 5, 2020

Ready to support youth voice? Be a donor.

Young people are taking action on the issues that matter to them in their communities!

On Tuesday, youth in the NLI Gage Park Council took to Morrill Elem Math & Sci School to complete a Community Clean-up in partnership with the office of @stephaniedcoleman of the 16th Ward. To start off their day, the council participated in a Restorative Justice training with @mpa_chicago. The youth then worked on beautifying the school's garden, cleaned up around the neighborhood, and posted their youth-created NLI Council's Collective Vision of Safety and their Top 10 Tips for Navigating your Neighborhood outside the school.

This summer, young people in the Neighborhood Leadership Initiative are engaging with community residents, stakeholders, and partners to address issues of violence and barriers to public safety that youth have to face and navigate in their communities. Stay tuned for updates!

Teachers, if you want the tools and support to bring Project Soapbox (and other Mikva programs!) to your students, it's not too late to register for the Action Civics Summer Institute August 4 & 5 - link in bio!
