Guest Speaker
Share your story of advocacy and civic action in Massachusetts with young students
Children Discovering Justice (CDJ) is a free civics-based curriculum for elementary classrooms across Massachusetts. The curriculum culminates in a civic action project where students apply their learning to advocate for a justice issue within their community. We are seeking guest speakers to feature within the lessons so students can learn from real examples of people in their community involved in local advocacy and change making (movements, campaigns, organizations, protests, school or local government, etc.). See details below and reach out to vsuri@discoveringjustice.org if you are interested in participating.
