High School Students Create Video Projects to Explore Real-World Topics

EducationWorks has teamed up again with Philadelphia Youth Network for their WorkReady Summer Service Learning Project.

Each summer, more than 30 high school students explore real-world topics that impact their communities through research, reflection, and action, and produced a multi-media project to showcase their findings. During this time our participants engage with speakers that are connected professionally to the topics that they are researching. The Service-Learning Program encourages students will explore the individuals and/or organizations that design and influence the future impact of the service-learning topics.

During this time our participants get to engage with speakers that are connected professionally to the topic, learning about their educational and career paths. The Service-Learning Program encourages and empowers students to explore the individuals and/or organizations that design and influence the future impact of their service-learning topics.

This summer, the students addressed the following topics:

  • Don’t Say Gay
  • After the Uprising: H.R.55 – The Emmett Till Antilynching Act
  • Murder Was The Case That They Gave Me: Gun Violence 101
  • Social Media Dependency
  • Environmental Catastrophe Loading
