Students in the 2009-2010 Finding Voice Project cohort are exploring a variety of topics related to their communities, with particular emphasis on education policies and student behaviors at school, discrimination and prejudice, and giving and receiving help in times of need. During the fall semester of 2009, students worked on pieces of writing about one of these topics they felt a personal connection with and during the spring semester of 2010, they will research, photograph, talk with community leaders and activists, and collectively work to find solutions and to build a stronger community here at Catalina, in Tucson, and globally to the extent that their work is able to influence peers, policy makers, and community leaders around the world. Please check back in May for the completed student projects and for updates on accomplishments of the Finding Voice youth.
In the meantime, take a look at who the students in this year’s project are and check out the work of project alumni on other pages of this website.
