Project Need
At SOAR High School, our community includes many passionate advocates for social justice across a range of causes. However, the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza left many students feeling a sense of helplessness, leading to a clouding of minds, heightened mental health challenges, and a significant distraction from academic pursuits. We thought of a letter-writing campaign. Our primary goal was to harness the voices of SOAR girls, amplifying their advocacy for the women and girls suffering amidst the crisis in Gaza. We also aimed to provide a platform for our members to exercise their voices in a society where young girls often feel intimidated or silenced. By creating this campaign, we aimed to combat complacency and encourage active participation in advocating for change.
Civic Engagement
At SOAR High School, we responded to the emotional impact of the Gaza crisis on our students by hosting a letter-writing campaign. This initiative allowed our students to advocate for the women and girls in Gaza and express their concerns in a countrywide way. Our students wrote to American leaders and organizations, bringing attention to the crisis and empowering young voices in our community. This project extended our learning beyond the classroom and demonstrated the power of advocacy.
