2nd annual Summer Activist Training Camp (SATC): free virtual camp for middle and high school students


GLI is dedicated to the full protection of human rights and gender equity. We are deeply concerned about those impacted by gun violence, abortion rights being rolled back, trans youth whose rights are being infringed on, young people who are being denied an adequate sexual education, and students who are being prevented from learning an accurate history of racism and sexism in the U.S. 

Featuring interactive skills workshops, briefings from experts on various human rights issues, and more, the SATC is your chance to make a difference on a topic you care about!

Participants will receive the following: 

  • Four weeks of trainings on valuable skills like public speaking, journalistic writing, and advocacy
  • Expert briefings on vital issues like abortion rights, LGBTQ+ rights, gun violence, and more
  • Staff support as you complete an Advocacy Project with other student participants
  • An official SATC Certificate of Completion
  • A recommendation on LinkedIn from GLI staff and/or a recommendation letter from GLI staff
