Mission in Action Club Kids Lead A Day of Advocacy in Washington D.C. Teens from the John Will Anderson Gary Club were part of the 2023 Center of Transformation program. The ten-week global climate change curriculum is designed to help Club youth learn about advocacy and global climate change. Our group of teens were selected to attend the National Advocacy and STEM Summit in Washington D.C. as part of the program. During their trip to the Capitol, they were immersed in the democratic process of advocating for a better future. They met with policy makers and attended live sessions of Congress, took field trips to NASA and the Boeing Company to experience flight simulators and fly drones, attended round table discussions with entrepreneurs and environmental justice experts, and had networking opportunities with professionals and fellow Club members from around the United States. Their work during the program was awarded the Workforce Development Award. The award recognizes a team of advocates who have contributed to the development of workforce skills, such as entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and career readiness, and have helped create opportunities for others.
