Standing Up and Speaking Out:
Student Voices
Each individual’s journey contributes to the story of a family, of a culture and of a society. When students participate in the Student Leadership Program at the Center for Intercultural Teaching and Learning they learn to share their stories with the world − and that’s a way to heal the world.
Hear what they have to say. You just might learn something.
