Youth & Education
At Warren Wilson College, our engagement in the community is focused on addressing social and environmental justice issues. We find that the issues that we care about in the world are often connected and there are many points of intersection.
Do you enjoy spending time with kids? Are you passionate about equity in education? If you choose to engage deeply with our Youth & Education Issue Area, you will participate in mentoring, tutoring and addressing policies that affect children and education. Most importantly, you’ll leave a mark on the generation behind you.
Sometimes what kids need most is you. Through our Youth & Education Issue Area, we provide many opportunities for you to directly work with young people, honing your own skills while making an investment in a child. These opportunities include:
- Engaging middle schoolers in hands-on science experiments.
- Giving farm tours to young people, educating them on how food is grown in sustainable way
Educational Policy
Working with children one-on-one and seeing the direct impact of your work is incredibly rewarding. But we know that sometimes policy can be a more effective way of making large-scale change. It’s why many of our Issue Areas encourage you to engage in the policy governing our actions.
