The Middle School Student Leadership Conference entitled “Making Acceptance Acceptable” is a CAS initiative to train middle-level student leaders from the diverse groups in Connecticut middle schools.

Since its inception, over 5,500 students in grades 6, 7, and 8 have been trained in bringing about positive change to their school climate. Students will participate in workshops designed to increase their skills in:

Building a Climate of Acceptance
Making a Difference at School
Taking Risks & Rising to the Occasion
Social Networking

Led by teachers, administrators, youth officers, high school and college students and counselors from around Connecticut, students will have opportunities to work together in small groups.

Schools are strongly urged to send a diverse group of student leaders: student council and nontraditional leaders, boys and girls, 8th, 7th and 6th graders; a group that represents the diversity of your school population.
