These seven students – from Lakeside and Shorewood High Schools and the University of Washington, form our Canopy Student Leadership Council. They are smart and funny, stand-out Canopy tutors. With their passion for helping underserved students excel in school, they collaborate with the Canopy staff to analyze the rising needs of the elementary and middle-school students and design projects to meet those needs.
In today’s news post, the Leadership Council presents one of their projects, 6th Grade Seminar, as part of our ongoing series, The Story Project. This story was filmed by Ebenezer and Julia and features Meiron teaching the seminar. Enjoy!
More Than Skills…
by Olivia Magtaas, director of middle-school tutoring
The Canopy Student Leadership Council is giving our elementary and middle-school students more than academic skills. They are giving students the chance to see leaders who look like them, leaders who have power to shape an organization. This is life-changing!
