Thank you to the Unitarian Church of BR for inviting us to come speak to your Social Justice group last week, and for collecting a shared offering this month that will help sustain our work! We are proud to amplify youth voices with you.

Everyone has a seat at the table! Juniors and Seniors in our Writing the World classes started the year by drafting and coming to consensus on their class agreements. This core Amped practice ensures that students' voices are at the center, and that everyone's ideas are heard and respected. Which agreement are you activating today?

It's SGA Campaign week! These Amped leaders have shared their vision for the school at town hall meetings, and are ready to get to work promoting youth voice across campus!

"Humanities Amped offers a lot to our campus--a lot. They can help you socially, they can help you emotionally. But mainly they're here to help you be a leader." - Principal Hayman

A great school culture doesn't just happen—it’s built by students, for students. The Amped/THS SGA is recruiting dynamic leaders for the 26–27 academic year who are ready to foster connection, belonging, and real progress on our campus.

What we do:
Amplify Student Voices: We partner with educators and administration to keep the student body connected and heard.

Support Student Well-being: From designing campus Get-Right spaces to opening lines of communication, we care about the whole student.

Host Major Events: Lead the charge on school-wide initiatives, summits, and student-led campaigns.

On April 30, over 130 Humanities Amped students, family, educators, and community members gathered together to amplify youth voice in the name of justice. This youth action research conference, Humanities Amped’s first since 2019, was a long time coming, and it was inevitable. As the school year comes to a close, we are proud to share these reflections with you!
