No Hate in the Garden State Youth Competition:
From the Interim Executive County Superintendent, Kyle M. Anderson:
I want to share with you the No Hate in the Garden State Youth Competition, launched by the Office of the Attorney General, the New Jersey Division on Civil Rights, and the New Jersey Division of Criminal Justice.
This competition invites students to collaborate to create projects or events designed to educate New Jerseyans on how to combat bias and promote inclusion in their communities. Each participating group must create an event or project relating to the theme of standing up to hate or celebrating New Jersey’s diversity.
Examples of potential projects include a social media awareness campaign, open mic night, cultural heritage celebration, educational workshops, a podcast, art work or an exhibition.
In addition to creating impactful projects, participants will gain valuable insights into civil rights, develop leadership skills, and deepen their understanding of New Jersey’s civil rights laws through interactive virtual training led by the Division on Civil Rights.
Eligibility: Students must be New Jersey residents in grades 6 through 12.
Deadline: Project proposals are due by January 13, 2025.
