student voice
London
What started in 2012 as weekly Twitter chats using #StuVoice has grown into a
national student-led call to action for more equitable schools. Student Voice
works in all 50 states to position and equip students as storytellers,
organizers, and partners who advocate for student-driven solutions to
educational inequity. Our coalition strengthens the collective impact of our
work. Student Voice's work is driven by the belief that in order to achieve
equity in schools, power must be meaningfully shifted towards young people most
marginalized by the education system. Therefore, we model what we ask of
institutions by actively elevating students to positions of decision making
power across our work, starting with our entirely youth-led team. Composed of 15
high school and college students, our team brings together young people with
deep experience in community action in distinct schools and contexts. We
cultivate a growing base of student leaders, with 300+ engaged program
participants from 36 states in our 2020-21 school year alone, and a network of
10,000+ students.
