Middle School Opportunities

This year, Close Up and the National Coalition of Girls’ Schools will bring together Middle School students, including Hockaday girls, from around the world to build inclusive communities, develop the skills needed for active citizenship, and learn from the stories, the successes, and the setbacks of other young changemakers. Seventh and Eighth Graders can join the Social Impact Club, where they engage in Design Thinking to build leadership skills and create impact within the Hockaday and greater community. Fifth through Eighth Grade students are part of Social Impact Leaders, and attend four sessions throughout the year designed to build leadership skills in students and help them meet the five outcomes of the Institute for Social Impact.
Social Impact Changemakers are Fifth through Eighth Grade students grade students who attend three
sessions focused on introducing students to social impact opportunities connected to their grade level theme.
