Sojourn to the Past
We are currently accepting applications for the upcoming cohort of Sojourn to the Past, an impactful academic experience where youth participants retrace the steps of the Civil Rights Movement by visiting significant landmarks in Alabama, Arkansas, Mississippi, and Tennessee.
This life-changing journey is designed to help young people gain a profound understanding of the Civil Rights Movement’s legacy, while also encouraging them to embrace core values such as acceptance, non-violence, courage, compassion, forgiveness, and civic responsibility. By participating, the youth are equipped to become change agents, addressing the prejudices that continue to impact our society today.
Applications can be found on our website: https://sfdistrictattorney.org/youth-and-young-adult-services-unit/.
