It was an amazing day as 20 of our top Students In Action Leaders attended a Jefferson Awards Leadership workshop at Rutgers University. Ms. MaryAnn Younger, the National Director of Students In Action arrived from Washington DC to welcome the North New Jersey students. She spoke of the origin of Jefferson Awards, the Nobel Prize of Public Service, and the future of our nation in the hands of our youth.
As the students shared their ideas for service projects and learned of the 7 directives, the staff shared their visions for helping humankind withineach of our respective schools.
We are ever so grateful to Ms. Karen Hatcher, the Regional Director of Students In Action who organized this inspiring leadership event. Our students came back on fire with the spirit ready to continue making a difference in our world , locally and globally.
