Celebrating MLK by Celebrating Young People who Push Back; Young People who Lead

This MLK Day, members of the Haverford-Ardmore community and students at the college attended a CPGC - conversation with two former students from the York Central school district who were instrumental in challenging a book-ban there, plus three local Philadelphia educators/authors. The event also marked the inaugural CPGC Award for Creative Maladjustment and Youth-led Social Change.
Appreciation, Outputs, and Outcomes. CPGC 2022 in Less than 1,500 Words

We ended the year with a capacity-building trip to the Middle East. 2022 was, for the Center for Peace and Global Citizenship, a year of stepping into challenges, acting beyond expectations, and fulfilling the College’s core commitments to better learning for broader impact.
