Program Highlights:
Youth musicians
Speakers from the statewide community schools collaborative will share how centering student voice and needs, supporting family and community engagement, and fostering inclusive and equitable learning environments is generating exciting results. Kids are connected and ready to learn. Schools are retaining teachers. Students have access to health care. Community members and students are connecting to resources and to each other through place-based opportunities hosted at community schools.
Youth Leadership Award: Vermont Student Anti-Racism Network (VSARN) was founded by a group of 10th graders as awareness and activism around racial injustice collided with the isolation of the COVID-19 pandemic. Their grassroots advocacy for anti-racist education in our schools began with emails to the State School Board, superintendents, and education associations, and has grown to regional organizing hubs and legislative testimony. Currently, VSARN members are organizing around a response to federal immigration action in schools.
