Making Changes in Your School

Clubs

Join or start a club at your school! This can be a great way to meet people with similar interests, participate in activities related to your issue, and it can help you gain leadership experience.

Classes

Strengthen and deepen knowledge by taking classes like AP Environmental Science, AP Human Geography, Civics, and Sex Education. If your school doesn’t offer these classes learn about the power of petitions and how to collaborate with administration to get them added!

Harness Your Knowledge Into a Project
