join the ssu community today
the program
SSU offers a revolutionary 6-week curriculum covering everything from democratic structures to the day-to-day life of the average youth organizer. participants can choose from a variety of learning formats, including live lessons, interactive asynchronous lessons, and/or self-directed slideshows. upon completion of the program, participants are matched based on their skills and passions with a number of organizations with similar missions. currently, we offer four cohorts per year, aligning with each of the four seasons.
the team
for those who already have experience in organizing, and for recent alum of our program, the opportunity to guide other young people on their journeys towards influencing change is only a few clicks away. we currently have positions open on our outreach, social media, and curriculum development teams for any 13-25 year old interested in inspiring change.
the community
without support from a number of generous corporate and individual donors, SSU would not have had nearly the impact it has in recent years. with the support of generous donors including Civics Unplugged, Prudential Emerging Visionaries, GripTape Learning, the Minnesota Alliance with Youth and the VELA Education Fund, SSU has been able to greatly expand its reach and blossom into the organization it is today. if you’re interested in supporting our work financially or through mentorship, please contact us!
