Teens

Our grade specific trips are designed to help teens make new connections and deepen existing relationships with each other, while learning about themselves in context of the world. In 8th grade, they learn that their voice matters and that they can make a difference well before they are able to vote. In 9th and 10th grade, they take a deep dive into both a dark and inspiring time in America's history, learning about the power of organizing and the effects of the Civil Rights Movement to this day. In 11th and 12th grade, they head across the ocean to Berlin, to learn about world history through the lens of one city.
