AMPLIFYing The Student Power Collaborative had its first meeting on Thursday April 11 at Morse High School. There was student and staff representation from Crawford, Lincoln, Morse, and Serra to share and discuss the successes and needs of their advocacy clubs and efforts. The group discussed the importance of healthy youth/adult partnerships, networked and worked towards a plan for future meetings. Karolyn Curtis and other students of The One World Club showcased the work of their Week of Consciousness which raised both awareness and funds around the cause of ending hate speech. With Dr. Larkin, they also shared the process of how they organized their their first annual Walk for Peace, the idea of 9th grader Juan Hurtado.
The Student Power Collaborative is excited to continue this work, with their next meeting in May, and are looking forward to including more student advocates from more schools across the district. If you are interested in learning more about or joining this collaborative, please contact Ciria Brewer in the Youth Advocacy Office at cbrewer@sandi.net.
