About Us
-
VIA uses popular education to strategize with students in order to build campaigns to create change at their schools
-
VIA uses a social justice lens to work with students to build leadership skills such as public speaking, self-advocacy and community organizing
-
VIA focuses on encouraging students, specifically students of color, to see their own potential and to develop the skills necessary to lead campaigns to make change in their schools because we believe those who are directly affected by an unjust education system have the ultimate power to create change.
-
VIA acts as a pipeline for students to have direct control over holding their school accountable for having just and equitable policies implemented on their campus’
We believe all youth can embrace who they are, can define their future, and can change the world.

Our Vision
Our vision is to create a more equitable education system by involving student voices in decision-making processes and eliminating disparities in educational opportunities.
