CHANGE-IT!

- 1.5-hour program, 4th grade-High School
- A 45-minute tour focusing on Susan B. Anthony as a reformer followed by 45 minutes of activities in the Carriage House
Our students had an amazing time, we handed them a survey on our way home and many of them said their favorite part of the trip was the Susan B. Anthony house and getting to write their own protest! I feel like they really appreciated our facilitator allowing them to choose to discuss topics that were important to them, instead of being given one of the preselected ones. We all learned so much about our group from that activity alone. I hope we are able to come again with a new group, everyone I have talked to since then keeps telling me about how they had the best time (some of them are even SURPRISED they had such a great time) and want us to do other trips in the future.
