Making His'tory
Developing Tomorrow's Leaders
Based on the success of Groundswell's Voices Her'd Visionaries, Making His'tory is an afterschool program for young men who demonstrate the potential for leadership. Making His'tory begins each spring as an afterschool apprenticeship program and culminates the following summer as one of the seven large-scale projects completed through our Summer Leadership Institute. A selection of youth participants for Making His'tory are recruited from our work with court-involved youth.
