Pass the mic! At a recent citywide conference, Fellows drove the dialogue around supporting school-aged youth.

2024 Youth Voice Panel

Fellows Jamaria Fisher (home school), Kaiya-Rai Glasper-Knox (Glen Oaks), Hayden Lathers (St. Joseph’s), and Jackson Lawrence (Liberty) spoke truth to power on the Youth Voice Panel: Amplifying Student Voices in EBR, part of the 4th annual Education as a Civil Right: Past, Present, and Future event hosted by the Baton Rouge Alliance for Students (BRAS). After the panel, attendees lined up to speak with the Fellows directly about their perspective on how schools can best serve students and families, keeping in mind the many competing demands on parents’/guardians’ time.
