A student at Redbank Valley High School is one of 12 high schoolers across the nation who has been selected to take part in the inaugural Equity in Civics Youth Fellowship.
Matthew Green, a junior at Redbank Valley High School, is participating in the year long program which is designed to help students “explore how civic education can become more relevant to all American youth and to build their own civic leadership skills,” according to a press release from Matthew Green.
Throughout the school year students from across the nation will participate in in-person and virtual workshops and training designed to prepare them to speak about “civic equity.”
The fellowship was created through a collaboration between iCivics and Generation Citizen with funding from the William and Flora Hewlett Foundation.
