Our Town for Teens is a four-day residential, transformational youth leadership camp that aims to build bridges of understanding across differing opinions and lived experiences. Teens will co-create courageous spaces by crafting and sharing their own leadership stories, practicing empathy and active listening through learning about the lived experiences of others, and developing tools to advocate for causes that matter to them.
Ourtown for Teens graduates take the skills learned at this camp back to their communities to be effective leaders in breaking down the barriers that often divide us.
All programs, materials, lodging, meals, and an OurTown t-shirt will be provided for the delegates.
This year, the program is limited to 24 participants.
Only complete applications submitted will be considered. We assure you that your information is completely confidential with JCA.
