In 2019, a group of high school friends in Kansas City, Missouri, founded the Social Justice Club for middle school students. Since 2020, the initiative has expanded to engage youth around the world through biweekly Zoom meetings, collaborative projects, justice-centered art contests, and global citizenship summer camps.

Nearly 3000 young people have participated in at least one of these activities, and many more have been reached through participants’ community service initiatives.

Through sustained discussion, we deepen our understanding of the values and experiences that connect us across cultures and nations. Through collective action, we practice the skills and cultivate the attitudes necessary to build a more just world.
