The Network for Social Justice’s Schools & Youth Committee seeks to broaden acceptance for diversity and equity in Winchester Public Schools. We accomplish our work by building a strong base of teachers, parents, and students in an effort to generate a culture change towards inclusion in schools and the town as a whole.
Committee Objectives
- Supporting the enrichment of social justice curriculum in schools
- Empowering parents to better guide their children around social and racial justice issues
- Aligning with the Winchester Public School’s vision and mission
- Building relationships with parents’ associations, school committees and other nonprofits to share best practices
- As part of the Schools & Youth Committee’s work, we support all members of the LGBTQIA+ community and their allies by providing resources and programming to local organizations, schools and community members that build knowledge around LGBTQIA+ issues.
