Grunin Foundation funds for this program went to Trinity Episcopal Church which is the fiscal sponsor for Teen Think Tank Project. These funds were for the Social Action Lab Fellowship: Training Teens in Pragmatic Activism.
Teen Think Tank Project’s mission is to develop today’s teens into tomorrow’s leaders who will create a more positive and sustainable world for everyone.
Teen Think Tank Project’s Social Action Lab Fellowship is a transformative public policy and advocacy program designed for high-potential teens committed to driving meaningful social change. This fellowship equips participants with leadership, advocacy, and pragmatic activism skills while providing hands-on experience in public policy, nonprofit advocacy, and community engagement.
The Social Action Lab Fellowship focuses on the following:
* Research & Policy Exploration – The program heavily emphasizes policy exploration, stakeholder engagement, and advocacy.
* Structured Learning Environment – Participants undergo formal training in policy analysis, civic action, and pragmatic activism.
* Hands-On Policy Implementation – Students actively work with a nonprofit to implement policy-driven projects, mirroring the work of policy fellows in governmental and nonprofit settings.
* Substantial Academic Exposure – At 200 hours over 18 months, the duration and intensity of this program provides long-term academic and professional benefits to high school students.
