Through creative, play-based learning like art projects, building challenges, and storytelling, students plant the seeds of equitable leadership that help them recognize their voice, value teamwork, and take-action for positive change.

The program serves as a feeder into Project VOYCE’s Jr. CEO’s initiative, ensuring continuity in youth leadership development from elementary through middle school.
