Available for 7th through 12th grades by invitation from the teacher or school administrator.
An in-classroom, age-appropriate workshop with activities allowing students to practice healthy communication, connection, and empathy with classmates. Students engage in leadership skills and self-reflection and gain an understanding and appreciation for the commonalities and differences in each other.
Scheduled during the summer and periodically during school breaks, for separate groups of middle schoolers and high school students.
Metrotown, the original OneJax youth program launched 35 years ago, is a youth leadership development program typically held over 2-4 days during the summer. The OneYouth program promotes interracial, interreligious, and intercultural dialogue for middle and high-school-aged young people. Through sharing and exchanging ideas from a multicultural perspective, students begin to see through a different lens that will have a positive impact on their own life, and in the lives of their new friends.
Separate sessions scheduled throughout the school year for middle school and high school students. By invitation from educators. Also available to youth groups of faith institutions, nonprofit youth programs and others.
Metrotown-In-A-Day (MIAD) is a condensed, 3-4 hour workshop with a focus on interactive learning covering various topics. This program is available to educators, youth groups of faith institutions, nonprofit youth programs and others. The program incorporates a combination of self-reflection, group activities, and healthy communication. Topics are tailored to meet the school community’s needs, which include student leadership, belonging and inclusion, mental wellness, advocacy, empathy, and others. The MIAD experience allows students to come together to explore options for living successfully in an increasingly diverse and interdependent world. Students attending a MIAD program often go on to participate in a full, multi-day Metrotown experience, deepening their OneYouth involvement.
Available to graduates of the Metrotown high school program.
Each high school student completing a multi-day Metrotown program may choose to become a Leader of United Diversity (LOUD). These OneJax ambassadors initiate programs and activities to bring the message of respect and appreciation for racial, religious, and cultural differences into their communities and schools. LOUD members meet throughout the year and participate in a variety of community service projects, assist with OneYouth programming and help out at OneJax community events.
