Join our CEO Louise Dubé and the Hunt Institute for a conversation on how schools can leverage civic engagement to build stronger connections with the local community.
Session Description:
Service learning and civic engagement can transform school communities, fostering a sense of belonging and responsibility among students. Despite growing concerns over a politically divided country, our 2024 Across the Aisle survey found meaningful agreement across demographic groups regarding education proposals. This session will explore practical strategies for integrating service learning into the curriculum, empowering students to take an active role in their communities and enhancing their educational experience through real-world problem solving. Join The Hunt Institute for a conversation on how schools can leverage civic engagement to build stronger connections with the local community, promote social responsibility, and develop the next generation of informed, active citizens.
Panelists:
- Louise Dubé, CEO, iCivics
