The North Star Project
Term: September 2024-August 2025
Amount: $25,000
Scope: The North Star Project will provide consulting services for the Justice Sonia Sotomayor Community School Just Begin Project Initiative. Sonia Sotomayor students at the Justice Sonia Sotomayor Community School will engage in a residency that culminates in the creation of an original children’s book called Just Begin.
• This residency will foster the students’ capacity for expressive writing and visual and digital art creation while enhancing confidence, focus, engagement and a sense of personal and collective agency.
• The curriculum modules will be scaffolded to promote the critical social-emotional, academic and leadership skills essential to individual and collective character development. An enhanced emphasis will be placed on fostering socio-emotional skill-building through a strength-based approach through a social justice lens that centered the values of dignity and worth of person. |
