The overall theme of this summer’s program was “Human Rights: Where Are We? Where Are We Going? How Can I Help” and the students learned about immigration issues around the world and here in the United States. At “Share Day”, students held a mock debate along with several speeches about various human rights issues surrounding immigration such as refugees, human trafficking, child soldiering, genocide, discrimination and civil rights.
A total of 41 students enrolled in the summer high school program and the youth came from 11 different school districts, including New Haven, as well as several private schools.
