Kids for Kids in Action
Eight sessions for 5th to 8th graders that start with their own story and lead to then taking action to help a cause they care about.
From issue to positive action
Students spend time understanding the social challenges that exist at school and what can be done about them.
Then they get to act. And because they understand the issue first, they know why they are acting.
