CatalogCivic Leadership Catalog Home Overview Young people often receive the message that they can’t make a difference. That they don’t have the knowledge, skills, or motivation to influence issues like poverty, healthcare, education, or the environment. That they’re powerless to create change. Yet there are countless stories that prove this is not the case. Four college students started a sit-in that fueled the civil rights movement, and thousands of young people powered the peaceful protests that ended legal segregation. One 13-year-old, with a group of 7th grade classmates, founded a youth-led organization that has fought against child labor and built schools and health clinics all over the world. And those are just a few examples. What power, passion, and resources do you possess? At the Civic Leadership Institute, you’ll begin your discovery!
