Three students from the Pangaea Project came to KBOO to talk about the group, their trip to Ecuador, and how it changed them.
The Pangaea Project empowers youth from low-income families to become effective "changemakers" in their community and the world.
Each year, a new cohort of high school students participates in our core classroom experience, international journey, and graduate leadership program. Participants build skills that are critical for productive leadership, discover issues about which they feel passionate, and learn concrete tools that are essential to making changes in our local communities. Our curriculum focuses on relevant social justice issues and provides students the opportunity to meet leaders and to learn about grassroots change.
The global perspective that Pangaea Project students gain abroad empowers them to become more effective leaders as they emerge with an ability to work effectively and solve problems with people from different cultural and socio-economic backgrounds, as well as the empathy and desire to make change. Students complete The Pangaea Project having recognized their own capacity and motivation to become "changemakers" in their local community.
