JSA will partner with Alliance College-Ready Public Schools to provide a civic leadership program that prepares low-income students to become engaged citizens and successful students into and through college. This proposal will create six new JSA chapters at Alliance schools, which are uniquely suited to host the organization because of 1) their mission to empower LA’s underserved students for college and career success, and 2) their focus on student-led project-based learning.
