Middle and high school educators are invited to join the third year of VOICES (The Central Valley Opportunity for Inclusive Civic Engagement and Service) – a three-part professional learning series designed to equip educators with the tools, strategies, and frameworks to foster active citizenship in students. The series launches with a full-day training on November 9, 2026 followed by additional trainings on January 21 and March 16, 2027.
University Preparatory High School (UPHS) students have participated in VOICES in the past, developing a variety of projects that address community needs. One project was a community awareness program designed to address Visalia’s cat overpopulation problem. Working with the Visalia Feral Cat Coalition and The Tattooed Cat, students Celeste Lopez and Matthew Henderson created a communications campaign that identifies the causes, effects, current policy, and what community members can do to help.
