About the Student Voice Learning Lab
The Student Voice Learning Lab is a training series open to all K-12 students across the United States that introduces the fundamentals of how education systems work and how students can be a part of addressing structural inequities in our schools. Virtual Learning Lab workshops are hosted twice a month for one hour through Zoom, and members of the Learning Lab can attend as many, or as few, workshops as they would like. Because workshops are open to all K-12 students across the United States, Learning Lab members are encouraged to invite their peers to participate. More information about the Student Voice Learning Lab can be found at StuVoice.org/learning-lab.
About the Student Voice Ambassadors Program
The Student Voice Ambassadors Program guides a cohort of 14 students from across the United States through the design and execution of a community-based project focused on an education justice issue that interests them. Ambassadors submit a project proposal, and Student Voice provides the resources and support they need to create change at the school and local levels, including access to a community of peers engaging in similar work, one-on-one support, and our national network of resources. Ambassadors will be provided a $1,000 stipend for the year, as well as access to optional paid opportunities with Student Voice partners. This program will require a time commitment of around two to five hours a week. More information about the Student Voice Ambassadors Program can be found at StuVoice.org/ambassadors.
About the Student Voice Journalism Fellowship
The Student Voice Journalism Fellowship is a cohort of 18 students from across the United States who are passionate about reporting on issues within their local and national school communities. Fellows come from a diverse range of experience levels, but all have the opportunity to hone their existing skills and explore new mediums of storytelling. Over the course of a school year, fellows attend skill-building workshops, connect with industry professionals, and craft narratives about their school experiences through print and other media. Fellows will be provided a $1,000 stipend for the year, as well as access to optional paid opportunities with Student Voice partners. This program will require a time commitment of around five hours a week. More information about the Student Voice Journalism Fellowship can be found at StuVoice.org/journalism-fellows.
About the Student Voice Organizing Fellowship
The Student Voice Organizing Fellowship trains 25 high school students from across the United States in education justice organizing and leadership development. Over the course of a school year, Student Voice Organizing Fellows will be prepared to advance education justice and create systemic social change in their schools and local areas. Through immersion in a community of peers committed to equity in schools, fellows will develop skills such as effective communication with peers and decision-makers, identifying issues and solutions in their schools and building capacity to organize student power in their communities. Fellows will be provided a $1,000 stipend for the year, as well as access to optional paid opportunities with Student Voice partners. This program will require a time commitment of around two to five hours a week. More information about the Student Voice Organizing Fellowship can be found at StuVoice.org/Organizing-Fellows.
