Cost to Students: Free
Summer Youth Institute (SYI) is a 15-day experience co-sponsored by the William Winter Institute for Racial Reconciliation and the Medgar and Myrlie Evers Institute. Bringing together rising high school sophomores and juniors (students currently in their freshman and sophomore years), the Institute provides training in leadership and community building as well as civil rights history. It includes workshops and field trips and provides tools to participants so that they can support local community improvement. At the end of the Institute, students go back to their communities and continue to work with the Winter Institute on joint projects throughout the year.
This year, we are proud to announce we will have staff with us from YouthLink, an organization that works with youth around issues of reconciliation in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
