The Social Fabric
Initiative,
a program of the Kroc
Institute for Peace and Justice at the University of San Diego, is looking to spread the word
about our program. We were hoping you could pass this news along to
any students who would be interested in applying for the program. This
summer, high school students will collaborate in a small team, or Thread, with
university Interns and a field-based Mentor to create a community change
project. The Social Fabric Initiative’s goal is to engage youth as agents for
change to build more connected and peaceful communities in San Diego.
For more information on the Social Fabric Initiative, feel free to
take a look at our website, read our new Kroc
Insight,
and watch this video explaining the launch of
the program. All information regarding the application process can be
found on the Get Involved page on the site. Deadline
to apply is April 22nd.
We understand that our tuition may present an obstacle to students
interested in applying. Please encourage anyone interested that we offer
scholarships for up to 100% tuition. These scholarships are not just
awarded based on need; we also award scholarships based on passion for the
program. To apply for a scholarship, just fill out the scholarship section at
the end of the Youth Peace Leader application.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Best,
