Students for Civic Impact

The cross-cultural exchange at our program is unmatched by any other. Students will come from the U.S. Territories and Freely Associated States, the 50 United States, and from other countries around the world. All students benefit from learning about and with each other; adolescence is a perfect time in human development for people to build cross-cultural appreciation and understanding. Further, having this experience with a level of guided independence away from home sets students up for future success when they graduate from high school and go to college independently. Budgeting their time, working on independent and group projects, learning communication skills, eating in the dining halls, and doing laundry on a college campus are all opportunities for personal and academic growth prior to matriculating at university. Students for Civic Impact's Civic Impact Summer Program is a pre-collegiate experience for students at various academic levels, teaching both beginning and advanced speakers and debaters and those in different grades in their high school career. This is unlike many summer academies and summer school programs offered across the country. While we want to see a student's abilities in their application, we care more about why a student wants to attend the program and what they aspire to do with what they learn. Our resident advisors, instructors, faculty, and staff are experienced in tutoring, mentoring, and coaching and love helping students do their best and make new connections and insights. We build time in the schedule for study groups, 1-1 questions, and independent work time. We are confident that with the experience of our team and the quality of our program that every student will have a unique educational opportunity they will always remember.
