Youth civic engagement is alive, well, and thriving in the Riverside Unified School District! The final numbers from their recent showcase event were remarkable: 172 high school students presented civic engagement projects and 11 students (from high school and middle school) delivered powerful Soapbox speeches on a diverse selection of pressing issues facing this country. There were also a wide array of dignitaries interacting with the student presenters, including: Riverside Police Chief, the former Riverside Mayor, RUSD board members, representatives from the Riverside Parks, Recreation and Community Services, Professor Allison Hedge Coke, UC Riverside and Joshua Thunder Little, a Ph.D. candidate at UCR, and a member of the Oglala Lakota Nation. These community leaders, along with approximately 100 other guests spent two and a half hours listening to these student experts frame their research and solutions to issues important to them. The event was a powerful reminder that our youth have an important voice that needs to be heard!

What a powerful quote from one of our SAC students. We love creating spaces for young people to be their full and authentic selves.
