North Carolina SFER Action Network

Hi all,

We are coordinating a 5 week academy for youth to learn about community organizing and the movement for education justice starting July 10th. This is ideal for high school students interested in activism, but open to any youth who is looking for an opportunity to grow this summer. Please share this link with or DM me with specific recommendations and I am happy to reach out directly to students who you think may be interested.

We have 10 spots open and would love your help in connecting students to this opportunity. It's free! The trainings and curriculum will be lead and taught by college student organizers, so it's going to be awesome!

Both the link to apply and overview of the 5 weeks is included below: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1t8aSw9zZDzB7zPbLTmov_1ZW7-cQGzrI9QOq20MO80Y/edit
