Feedback Survey
Join us in reimagining youth-adult partnerships that cultivate students’ civic agency within and beyond the school’s walls. In this interactive session, participants will engage with visual texts using the Values, Identities, Actions routine, explore stories and resources from the John Lewis Leadership Program (Fairfax County Public Schools, Virginia), and exchange ideas with colleagues from diverse contexts. Participants will leave with fresh perspectives, practical resources, and a template for fostering more empowering youth-adult relationships in their own communities.
