Student Leadership Day (pre)

Creating a Global Community:
Building Foundations for Effective Leadership & Change

 

Monday, December 7, 2009
9:00 a.m. - 2:30 p.m.

 

Join us for an inspiring full day as we increase knowledge and awareness of the Holocaust and genocide, challenging participants to think about lessons that can be learned from the past. Through this day, students will have the opportunity to learn about becoming an advocate and leader for change; how they can work to prevent genocide by raising awareness, by voicing opposition to the prejudices and indifference they encounter; and engage in activities that promote global peace and understanding.

 

Nominate your high school student today! >>

Eboo is a young global leader in the World Economic Forum and an Ashoka Fellow, part of a select group of social entrepreneurs whose ideas are changing the world.
