Another inspiring summer of building young leaders!

🌟 Project South just wrapped up the 13th Annual Septima Clark Community Power Institute (SCCPI), our summer leadership and community organizing fellowship for Atlanta-area teens ages 13–18. Over the past several weeks, more than 20 incredible teens came together to build leadership skills, deepen their understanding of social justice, and explore how they can create meaningful change in their communities. Inspired by the educational philosophy of civil rights leader Septima Clark, SCCPI is rooted in the principles of popular education, where learning happens through dialogue, creativity, hands-on projects, and collective action. This is a place where we hope youth are able to connect movement history to their own personal experience in ways that will continue long after the summer ends. For nearly 15 years, SCCPI has been shaping young leaders, amplifying youth voices, and building grassroots youth power. We’re so proud of this year’s fellows and can’t wait to see where they go next! #ProjectSouth #SCCPI #YouthLeadership #YouthOrganizing #CommunityOrganizing
