My name is Laina DiGeronimo, and I am a 12th grader who attended Laurel School's 1st Environmental Justice semester. This semester was life-changing and taught me so much about our unjust systems and inequities in our world and about cultures, communities, and the world's natural beauty. I am so grateful and proud to call myself an EJ student.
The Environmental Justice Semester (EJS) at Laurel is a semester-long, academic program open to Tenth and Eleventh Grade girls from any public, private, parochial, or charter school in Northeast Ohio. The learner-centered Semester takes place on Laurel’s 150-acre Butler Campus in Russell Township, Ohio, which offers a natural space with terrestrial, aquatic, and agricultural ecosystems for student changemakers to devise solutions for the ecological and social challenges facing urban Cleveland, a rustbelt city grappling with many environmental and social justice issues.
