Theory of Change

A summer campus experience that builds identity, belonging, and leadership.

Engaging middle school students between the ages of 11 and 13 in a series of academic and physical activities during the summer on a college campus — with students from diverse backgrounds — increases participating students' sense of identity as future college students, improves their cultural competency, and increases their sense of belongingness and ability to assume leadership roles.

Identity

Students see themselves as future college students.

Competency

Students improve cultural competency and learn to interact across differences.

Leadership

Students develop a stronger sense of belongingness and the ability to lead.
