This chapter showcases a program that involves college student leaders to teach about the civil rights movement to K‐12 students in local public schools. Voices of a student leader and high school teacher speak to the program's impact on them personally and professionally, and provide broader lessons for cultivating student leadership through the lived practice of community action.
