Do you want to talk to youth all over New York City about what's up in their schools? Are you tired of complaints about the education system and ready to figure out what to do about it? Do you like to ask questions and share your opinions? If so, it's time for you to get involved! Join this team to figure out what's needed to make a new system of public education based on social justice, anti racism, dignity and human rights for all students, their families and communities.

Twenty-five teens, five from each borough, will design and complete a research project and survey to find out what youth in each borough think about their schools now and get their ideas about how to create a new system of public education based on social justice, anti-racism, dignity and human rights for all students, their families and communities.
