SWP programs equip young scholars with the tools and platform necessary to value and share their authentic voices!

Learn the Truth (4th Grade)

Scholars reflect on identity, social justice and are empowered to see themselves as advocates for causes they care about.

Speak the Truth (5th Grade)

Scholars gain the self-confidence necessary to discover and explore their voices and transform them into original speeches called “Passion Pieces.” Each original Passion Piece is performed at the Rising Voices Oratory.

Teach the Truth (Middle School)

Scholars focus on their audience, catering their performance and content to teach the listener. Scholars have more freedom of expression and are asked to support their arguments with facts.

Global Citizens (High School Program)

Scholars identify as global citizens and are paired with mentors, internships, community leaders, and opportunities to network and build community on a local and national level.

Over the past decade, SWP has built diverse partnerships with funders, community and youth organizations, schools and individuals that are committed to advancing student voice to ensure that ALL children are heard, celebrated and acknowledged. Here are some of our school partners
