2026 Spring Academy and Challenge

Over 80 One World students have been hard at work since the beginning of February on their essays, stage presentations, and poster boards, all on social justice topics that matter to them. We have students at three afterschool academies now! At our partner UNCF’s headquarters downtown, we see students from schools across the city. And in Ward 8, we have a group of students at Friendship Southeast PCS and a group at Statesmen College Prep.

 

These students will come together in one culminating showcase on Friday, April 24th, to present their social justice research findings and solutions to their communities, competing for scholarships. Join us to see why the One World Challenge is one of the city’s preeminent education events!
