Project Title: Students In Action, Chicago
Project Description:
Students In Action (SIA) is an evidence-based service learning and leadership curriculum designed for middle and high schoolers. Service-learning allows students to learn, and then apply their skills – a proven method for solidifying content. SIA provides hands-on learning opportunities to give youth an outlet to apply and internalize leadership skills, empathy, and social-emotional learning – equipping teens with the life skills necessary for success in college and the workforce. Teens are better prepared for real-world circumstances as they develop the resources and critical thinking skills to confront challenging issues, problem-solve, and work towards sustainable solutions.
Multiplying Good provides the framework, an evidence-based curriculum, and tools for both local schools and youth-serving organizations. We provide all program components at no cost to ensure this valuable program is accessible to all, but especially to under-resourced schools and youth.
