8:00 am – 3:15 pm

NAME is reinforcing its commitment to student voice and empowerment by hosting this Student Diversity Leadership Day. Students in grades 9-12 who have demonstrated a commitment to and/or leadership in diversity and intergroup understanding are encouraged to share their experiences,network with other student leaders, and receive training from Urban Leadership Institute from Baltimore, MD. Students will take part in interactive workshops designed especially for them and attend general conference sessions. NAME recognizes that in order to avoid misperceptions and assumptions, and to truly understand the student experience, we need the voices of students to be heard, recognized, and respected. In this spirit, we welcome young people in grades 9-12 as part of this organization, this conference, and this work toward equity and social justice.

Interested students need to register to participate, and there may be a $45 fee involved to cover the cost of lunch and conference materials. Please contact Patricia Levroney for more information about this event at ptlevro@k12.carr.org. Student Diversity Day is included in Package A registration (high school students only), but you still must contact Patricia if you plan to participate.
