 Siena College Civic Engagement Camp

Summer Civic Engagement Camp (July 9-27, 2012) invites high school students to become engaged citizens while embarking on a week long learning adventure, increasing their knowledge about leadership and social justice while doing hands-on service projects in the community.

Students have the option to choose two different tracks:

  • Community Immersion (Ages 13-18): Participants can sign up to partake in a week long session (three are offered throughout the summer) that explores social justice issues and gives participants hands on service experiences.
  • Social Justice Academy (Ages 16+): Participants partake in a three week course, "Hunger and Homelessness in America," and earn three colleges credits. Students will work in conjunction with community organizations and develop a curriculum that can be used throughout the year to raise awareness about social justice issues in local area schools.
