Welcome to the MLL Teen Leadership Academy. All around us we hear the cries for a change to the current systems we live under. We know what we DO NOT WANT, but do we ever stop to think about what we do want and how we would go about creating this vision. The MLL Teen Leadership Academy is designed to provide the youth with an opportunity to think critically through this process of change. In the 2 years we spend together, we will get an understanding for how we got here and critically determine how we can get out. We will examine questions like: What is freedom? Is freedom personal or collective? Can it be both? How would a successful society look? Does democracy work? What kinds of economic organization would be ideal? Through reading, writing, watching movies and documentaries, listening to music, discussing and analyzing the students will begin to create the blueprint for the future they want.
