Description

The Dux Leadership Center supported the local Harrisonburg program, On the Road Collaborative, by providing trained and certified JMU student facilitators to serve as Community Teachers, leading weekly leadership activities, modules, and experiences for the middle school students at Skyline Middle School for 10 weeks during the Spring 2016 semester. The On the Road Collaborative is a non-profit youth empowerment organization that sets middle school youth on the road to college and career. It connects low-income middle school youth to educational experiences and caring adult mentors during the out-of-school hours.
