Today's @washingtonpost opinion piece features Eli Tillemann, a senior at Thomas Jefferson HS for Science & Technology in Alexandria, VA. addressing the need for students to develop the skills necessary to engage in civic discourse. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

While I was in Athens, I spent time with a remarkable group of leaders from the @GirlsAlliance who are working to educate and empower girls in their communities. I was inspired to know that folks like them are out there leading the way—keep up the good work!

Sonja Aibel, a student at @BrooklynTech_HS & a member of the @democracyready Youth Engagement program, wrote a reflective essay featured in @einhorncollab's monthly Connection Hub. "Why Student Power is the Key to Future Civic Participation." einhorncollaborative.org/why… #civics
