Student Diversity & Leadership Conference
What is the Student Diversity & Leadership Conference (SDLC)?
SDLC is a part of the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) People of Color Conference (PoCC). The conference is a multiracial, multicultural gathering of upper school student leaders (grades 9-12) from across the U.S. and abroad. SDLC focuses on self-reflecting, forming allies, and building community. Led by a diverse team of trained adult and peer facilitators, participating students develop cross-cultural communication skills, design effective strategies for social justice practice through dialogue and the arts, and learn the foundations of allyship and networking principles.

Student Diversity and Leadership Retreat 2022
Last winter, 5 students along attended the NWAIS Student Diversity and Leadership Retreat, a smaller, local version of SDLC. The theme of the event was "Caring for Ourselves, Each Other, & Our World." Students heard from Cinnamon Kills First and Christian Paige, and also attended workshops and affinity groups. Our students had a great time! Hover over the photos below to see what they thought.
