The Summer Symposium


The Academy's Summer Symposium provides students the opportunity to hear internationally-known human rights experts, take part in hands-on activities and field trips, and learn the skills they need to make an impact on the community, nation, and world.

​Open to any incoming 9th grader through graduating senior, the program is held for five days in mid-July. Created in 2008 by award-winning, nationally-recognized educators and co-sponsored by Erie 1 BOCES, the Symposium provides its participants with the inspiration and tools to become the leaders that they were born to be.

Data
  • We employ non-traditional ways of gathering feedback on programs and trainings, which may include interviews, roundtables, and external reviews with/by community stakeholders.
Policies and processes
  • We seek individuals from various race backgrounds for board and executive director/CEO positions within our organization.
  • We engage everyone, from the board to staff levels of the organization, in race equity work and ensure that individuals understand their roles in creating culture such that one’s race identity has no influence on how they fare within the organization.
