We’re one month away from SoapboxNYC!

This event, in partnership with Mikva Challenge and Civics for All, is a dynamic platform where young voices take center stage to speak on the issues that matter most to them and their communities.

On March 25, students from across New York City will come together to share their stories and spark change. These passionate youth will address mental health, community safety, and more—urging their community to engage and be informed.

On May 18, a select group of youth speakers from across the country will deliver their powerful, call-to-action speeches in front of a national audience in Washington, D.C. at Soapbox Nation!

This event builds on the foundation of Project Soapbox, giving students the chance to share their stories and cultivate the change they want to see.
