It takes a community to grow a change agent.

Coming soon

Students researching real issues and helping shape school policy. We’re building a new program that brings students into community policy projects as Student Policy Partners. Before it launches, we’re putting the right foundations in place, including parent consent, adult background checks, and clear safety practices.

Why it matters

Students earn documented volunteer hours.

Real research projects make meaningful additions to college applications.

Schools gain a clear way to hear how students experience their policies.

Students practice engaging civilly with people who see things differently.

Students and adults build trust and respect by working together.

Interested?

Interested students, families, educators, and community partners can email ipswichstudentsfirst@gmail.com to hear when the program is ready. Students under 18 will need a parent or guardian’s consent to participate.
