Community Strength Projects

Community Strength Projects translate the lessons of our curricula guiding of MOST and WISE Clubs into inspired public action, as members organize and become activist leaders in their schools and communities. Through intergenerational and near-peer mentoring, Club members develop, execute, and evaluate their own youth-led initiatives.

By sharing what they learn in their Clubs with the broader community, expanding their capacity as leaders, and earning service-learning credits to fulfill graduation requirements along the way, Club members reap the tangible benefits of active participation and the intrinsic rewards that accompany service to others.

Students at the School Without Walls in Washington, DC, lead a Community Strength Project around civic engagement and voter registration for their peers.
