*SWIPE* Acknowledging Pride Month at Mikva Challenge! On this final day of Pride month, we want to highlight few of our students who got on their soapbox to discuss LGBTQ rights. Shoutout to all of our youth who use their voice to advocate for just and fair communities where everyone is not only welcomed but protected.

Juneteenth is more than a holiday - it is also a reminder that advancing equity and justice requires laws, policies, and action. The history of this day is a testament to the fact that without education and access, rights and freedoms will not flourish.

Today, we are not only commemorating but reflecting on the importance of our mission and the possibilities of our work. Thank you for your continued support of our programming, which educates and develops youth to promote a just and equitable society.

In honor of Juneteenth, the Mikva Challenge offices will be closed Monday, June 20th.
