As many schools move away from unidirectional “service” models toward reciprocal and sustainable community engagement, a new challenge arises: how do we support student leaders to take informed, reflective, and purposeful action? How do we equip them with the skills and confidence to lead, while avoiding tokenism or surface-level involvement?
This interactive Inspire Citizens workshop explores both elements -student leadership and community engagement—as interdependent parts of a transformative learning ecosystem. Participants will engage with case studies, explore scaffolded leadership development strategies, and analyze tools that support long-term, impactful community engagement.
All tools and processes will be meta-modeled, meaning that participants will experience the strategies firsthand - gaining confidence to implement them directly with students. Whether you're supporting student-led clubs, global citizenship projects, service learning, or community engagement initiatives, this workshop will help align leadership development with meaningful community impact.
Participants will leave with a contextualized plan tailored to their school or program—ready to empower student leaders to engage deeply, ethically, and effectively in their communities.
As a result of attending this session, participants will be able to:
Identify and implement scaffolded strategies for student leadership development.
Apply tools for reciprocal and sustainable community engagement.
Experience leadership tools through meta-modeling to support direct classroom or co-curricular application.
Adapt school-based models of student agency and community action to their own educational context.
Design a draft implementation plan to empower student leaders to create meaningful impact.
Aaron Moniz is the Co-Founder and Director of Inspire Citizens, where he partners with schools around the world to design and implement whole-school programs focused on service learning and community engagement, education for sustainable development, and active global citizenship.
With a deep belief in the power of schools as catalysts for community impact, Aaron works closely with educators, leadership teams, and community stakeholders to align vision, practice, and purpose. Through tools like the Global Impact Schools Self-Discovery Tool and the Whole School Global Citizenship Roadmap, he supports schools in strategic planning, professional learning design, and systemic integration of global citizenship education tailored to each school’s unique context.
Aaron also leads curriculum enhancement using the Empathy to Impact framework—helping schools co-create meaningful K–12 learning experiences that connect academic standards to real-world action. This includes developing vertically aligned scope and sequences for service learning, designing student leadership programs, and supporting schools in building innovative advisory, community engagement, or impact project programs.
Aaron advocates for equitable and impactful global citizenship education through the Inspire Citizens Foundation and partnering with non-profits and community partners to elevate community impact. His work empowers schools to make small shifts in their systems that yield big outcomes—positioning students not only as learners, but as change agents within their local and global communities.
