The application for the 2022 Summer Justice Institute is now live! CLICK HERE TO APPLY! The deadline to apply is Friday, July 8th.
The ACLU of Wisconsin is offering the 2022 Summer Justice Institute for high school students July 18 through 29 in a hybrid format! That means we will be doing a mixed in-person and digital format to help accommodate the fast-changing health landscape.
Each summer for the past four years, the ACLU of Wisconsin, in partnership with community groups and leaders, has provided approximately 40 high school students (including incoming freshman), a FREE two-week intensive camp experience teaching essential leadership and social justice issues, skills and techniques for civic engagement. At the Summer Justice Institute (SJI) students will become experts on the issues currently being confronted in Wisconsin today.
