STAND Student voices
ABOUT
OPEN CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
Education issues are at the forefront of today’s politics. But amidst all the news coverage and online debates, there has been a key voice missing in the conversation around public education—YOURS! Students bear the brunt of the education legislation and policies passed, yet are given very little opportunity to express their thoughts, needs, and goals for their own education. We want to change that.
Stand Student Voices is a platform for young people to share their thoughts in response to the pressing education issues impacting students today. Students can submit poetry, short stories, non-fiction writing, and visual art projects. Works will be published digitally.
Share your original work to be featured and get your thoughts and ideas in front of policy makers, educators, and advocates across the nation. Now, more than ever, decision makers need to listen to the guidance and creativity from the young people. So we want to hear from you!
