Program Overview
Our program focuses on youth development, critical thinking, leadership skills, and empowerment through active civic participation and experiential learning. We utilize strategies that teach youth how to analyze information and connect youth through collaboration with community partners, government officials, and agencies to address broader community issues.
Community Call is innovative in these key areas:

- We make active civic engagement personal and meaningful for every student
- Our projects are based on collaboration with the community including: government, business, higher education, and non-profit
