Our Approach
Our approach is deeply influenced by political thought and community. As educators, we aim to provide high-quality workshops that challenge our participants academically. However, our goal is to create a space that differs from the traditional classroom. Through our workshop design, we encourage youth to fully embrace their authentic selves while embarking on this scholastic journey of culture, community, and self-discovery.
