Student Leadership Experience 2023
The Student Leadership Experience
Our organization’s mission is centered around building healthy leaders in communities. During the Spring 2023 cohort, our students engaged in professional development that strengthened their leadership skills at home, school, and in the community.
The students are working towards earning a certification as an associate in leadership development. They will also be awarded a digital badge credential which can be used to enhance resumes and qualify for summer employment within our organization.

Story Telling with Ashwina K.
During our TLACA Student Leadership Experience, village member Ashwina Kirpalani-Vasanjee presented "Telling Stories with Data." Not only did our students learn how to read data, but they were also informed of the huge Math gaps among Black/African American students. Learning this information empowered our student leaders to host a Math Camp for their peers to decrease these learning gaps within the education system.
