Summer Racial Justice Academy 5 Community of Care/PSA Team
The PSA work started originally in the Summer Racial Justice Academy 4 in 2024. Student leaders focused on making change expressed concern about hate speech in schools and general conduct. They wanted to create public messages that could be shared with the student body to emphasize a community of care. The work expanded in the Spring of 2025 thanks to a Community Schools Grant and again in the Winter of 2026 with funding from the Nellie Mae Foundation. The Office of Equity has established a PSA team for 2 years now made up of middle and high schoolers and worked with youth videographers from AALV Media and Burlington Technical Center’s Media and Digital Litearcy class to create even more PSAs. These PSAs are written and directed by students. Please enjoy these messafes of respect, kindness and hope that are made by students for students. Their messages are earnest and powerful. Feel free to use these PSAs to help spread the positive messages in your own schools!
