Then it’s time to create a space that empowers students to become leaders by addressing challenges in their schools through research, collaboration, and actionable solutions.
Schools are under pressure and administrators, like you, have limited time to create the meaningful change you know your school really needs, instead…
Teachers are burnt out with disruptive student behavior and disengagement.
Initiatives and policies continue to miss the mark in supporting students.
You’re exhausted developing programs, creating clubs, and starting committees, just to create something that puts a bandaid over a bullet hole.
You are giving it your all but still watching the same challenges cycle through each school year, while students go on feeling unheard and staff feel burned out.
But what if… the real shift in your school culture was on the other side of leveraging student voice as more than an add-on or an arbitrary data point on your end of year survey but to drive real change.
Imagine…
Students leading school-wide initiatives with data-backed student-centered solutions, presented to you by confident students ready to turn their ideas into real policy.
Walking through hallways filled with purpose, where students are leaders, teachers are facilitators, and your school culture is driven by the voices that matter most.
Imagine your elective teachers feeling supported by ready-made lesson plans and facilitation guides, freeing them to teach, not just manage.
Imagine not having to imagine
That’s where The Student Action Board comes in
A complete, elective course curriculum that guides students through identifying, researching, and solving real school challenges using Youth Participatory Action Research (YPAR).
What’s included:
Step-by-step curriculum with lesson plans, slide decks, and student facing worksheets and materials
Facilitation guides for adults to support without taking over
A 90-minute onboarding call that walks you through the implementation roadmap for school-wide rollout
This program for:
Administrators who are tired of making top-down initiatives that don’t stick.
Schools ready to move beyond token student voice to student-led change.
What Students are Saying?
“My experience during this program was very helpful to my persona. It helped me to understand that my voice can be powerful but it is my choice to let my voice reach other people. It has also helped me to understand that I am powerful enough but as a collective, we are stronger”
“I feel like a Student Action Board is needed in every school... it needs to improve as a whole, and the SAB is willing to be a part of that.”
“I learned that I can make changes, big and small. And I learned how to lead others to a common goal and be able to complete that goal all at once.”
“The Student Action Board taught me that no voice is ever canceled out. Just because someone isn’t hearing you, don’t stop speaking another ear is probably open! My experience was possibly one of the best things to happen at my school. The protesting, being heard for once and actually seeing a community we thought was a broken village come together. This program summarized to me that change could happen when you have an army to help you do it!”
“This program is a great opportunity for students to make school more comfortable for them. Also, being able to have students and teachers connect and get on the same page”
“The Student Action Board is a program in which you are able to achieve internship or community service hours. We take time to carefully talk about the issues at hand and ways we think we should solve them. This will all lead to a culminating event in which we share our feelings and evidence with everyone. ”
How it works?:
The four-phase process to ignite change…
-
Students identify the challenges impacting their school and reflect on their lived experience.
-
They learn research and advocacy skills to approach problems with evidence-based solutions.
-
Student collect data, analyze their findings, and craft compelling narratives around their insights.
-
Students identify the challenges impacting their school and reflect on their lived experiences.
Why Your Schools Needs a Student Action Board?
The Student Action Board isn’t just about improving schools, it’s about empowering students to thrive as leaders and advocates. Schools that have implemented the program have seen:
Improved Policies: Initiatives built on student insights that solve real challenges.
Student Empowerment: Young people become active contributors to their learning environments.
Cultural Transformation: A shift to collaboration, equity, and mutual respect among students and staff.
It’s Understandable to Hesitate
You might be thinking:
“Teenagers can’t handle this responsibility.”
“We can’t meet all their needs.”
“They don’t even know what they want!”
Creating policies and initiatives without student input hasn’t worked. Your students are experts in their own experience. With the right structure and support, they’ll amaze you with their insights and solutions.
Why This Program Works
The Student Action Board creates a structured space for students to:
Feel seen, heard, and valued
Voice their concerns
Develop solutions on their own terms
The transformation your school is waiting for will be driven by the use of your students voice.
What Leaders are Saying?
“The SAB is an entity that exists to empower students to use their voices for positive change. Adults who have the best results know they have to listen to their students. Eva doesn’t just listen, she takes what is said to heart, builds alliances, and comes back with a team ready to set students up to make a difference. Through action research and advocacy, SAB participants become active leaders in their education and their communities.”
“Since implementing the Student Action Board at the school, I’ve seen students in consultation with student government and other student organizations advocate for their needs in ways that have helped bring awareness and structural changes to the learning environment. Students need a space to be politically involved that can make authentic solutions and changes.”
Meet the Founder
Evalaurene Jean-Charles
With 7 years in education as a teacher and instructional coach, I’ve seen firsthand how student voice can transform schools when it’s structured, supported, and taken seriously. I co-created The Student Action Board, with students, to give schools a repeatable, equitable framework for making that transformation real at their schools.

Not at all. The program includes everything you need—training, templates, and ongoing implementation support available.

Less than you think. The curriculum is ready to use, and students lead the work. Just identify where in your school schedule you want it to fit and teachers are ready to facilitate, not plan.
So… are you ready to make student voice the heart of your school’s change?
