Theresa Maughan - Educator, East Orange STEM Academy

Teens will explore how walking in their purpose can spark advocacy and inspire lasting change. Beginning with the untold stories of Crispus Attucks and the thousands of Black men who fought in the Revolutionary War, teens will consider the struggle for both personal and national freedom. 

Together, they’ll reflect on the question: What is worth fighting for? By connecting the courage and choices of the past to the challenges youth face today, participants will discover how wellness, self-advocacy, and a strong sense of purpose can sustain them as leaders in their own communities.
