The EJS Project keeps youth residents of The Set engaged in City Commission meetings, with the Delray Beach Police Department, and other other local initiatives. EJS keeps youth connected to larger county-wide initiatives when youth voice and participation is needed. Youth plan and organize activities to support beautification efforts in The Set that may include clean-ups, paintings and other neighborhoos projects.
To allow students to practice leadership and civic engagement, EJS includes students on organizational planning committees, include at least two students in quarterly reports to the Community Redevelopment Agency, and continue to identify and plan community events where students can project manage and volunteer. Students will also participate in weekly Community Conversations in which they engage in meaningful dialogue around race equity, leadership, and positive impact strategies with local leaders and professionals.
