Hiring Black Student Leaders (Deadline April 8th)

The Level Up Project is an advocacy project for Black students aged 11-18 and their families. Through peer leadership training and workshops, students will explore pathways after high school, in-school accommodations, suspensions and expulsions and complaint possibilities. In collaboration with school and community-based staff, this project will strengthen relationships, resource and service-support systems in local schools and communities to increase youth and family access to advocacy and efficacy skills to combat anti-Black racism and exclusion. 

High school student mentors will lead presentations with middle school students between May - June 2022 and will receive a $1000 honorarium. In addition, youth mentors will receive facilitation training at the end of April. 

**To be a youth mentor in this project, you must be of African descent** i.e. Black, West/East/South African, Caribbean, Afro-Latinx, etc.
