There is special attention paid to socialization, political structures, and youth-led activism. Throughout the course, youth will engage themes including, but not limited to: identity, healthy relationships, physical and emotional wellness, and social and economic justice. Sisterhood Academy incorporates and encourages small group work, discussion, interactive activities, writing, and multimedia presentations.
