The Marcus Hall CE Academy is a program to encourage the youth to participate in community services and support you in becoming an active citizen within your community through a series of sessions focused on advocacy, community organizing, and civic engagement. The bi-weekly program begins in February and runs through May.
The Community Cohort is formatted to focus on community organizing and community outreach by providing participants the skills needed to advocate for the community. The program will give participants the tools and support to run an issue campaign or organize a social or political movement.
