Building Sueño Scholars

Inspired by the works of Bell Hooks, Victor Villanueva and Lorena German, Sueño Scholars research and take action to find equitable solutions for social justice issues facing their community through community engagement, service and advocacy.

💫"What I learned is that you may think you're alone when you go through something. However, many other people have gone through the same experience. You can help people open their eyes."

Sueño Scholars research and take action to find equitable solutions for social justice issues facing
their community through community engagement, service and advocacy.

What is the research process?

Throughout this 6-7 week research project, students select a social justice issue of their choice impacting their community.
Create an argumentative claim, evidence and reasoning supporting their stance.
Students create a multimodal presentation (video, poster, speech, podcast, playlist or art piece) that highlight key findings and an equitable solution.
Students coordinate a volunteer date to bridge their school and community together.

Sueño Youth Scholars will:

Develop their autonomy in their writing and personal identity in relation to their position in society.
Align evidence and themes that emerged.
Apply their conditional knowledge to the modality, craft, and audience of their presentation.
Engaged and empowered to voice their ideas in the writing process using emerging, real world technologies.
Recognize the influence of their writing and expressed a desire to collaboratively become change makers in community.
