BROOKLYN , Ohio -- The third annual Brooklyn High School Hurricane Student Leadership Project, which is designed to empower students to develop leadership skills and create a lasting impact on their school and community, looks a little bit different this year.
“Through leadership training, students develop their voice, strengthen their confidence and design meaningful community service projects that build connections,” Brooklyn City Schools Superintendent/CEO Theodore Caleris said. “Our hope was to expand this training with another school district in the hopes of developing relationships with other high school students. With my connection to North Olmsted, this was an easy conversation with their superintendent.”“Brooklyn City Schools were gracious to invite our students to participate in the leadership and empowerment project with them,” he said. “This is something they have previously done. It’s something that I was interested in from a distance and happened to have a connection in their district.” While North Olmsted High School offers services learning opportunities for various students through community-based SITES program, KEY Club and other internal programming, this collaboration expands the horizon with previous Student Leadership Projects by Hurricanes generally focus around beautification of the school grounds and the city. In total, 32 Brooklyn High School students and 30 North Olmsted High School students are meeting with Tom Burton of WeEmpower LLC throughout the school year to ultimately develop a community capstone project. Caleris said former teacher, coach and superintendent Burton now focuses on student training and professional development. “The Hurricane Student Leadership Project is more than a program -- it’s an investment in our students’ voices, their leadership and their commitment to serving each other and our school community,” he said. “Together, we are building leaders who will strengthen our schools and create lasting skills for our students beyond high school.” Chris added, “We value service learning and student leadership experiences. We truly believe that these opportunities foster significant individual growth and collectively emphasize the importance of community.”If you purchase a product or register for an account through a link on our site, we may receive compensation.
