Maverick

Voice

The Maverick Voice, designed for students grades 6 and up, activates a student-driven learning environment that builds community and fosters collaboration in the classroom. The question, 'What does it mean to be a maverick?' is our entry-point for youth inquiry into the lives of change-agents past and present, as well as local and global. Maverick Voice workshops and programs work with a wide array of learners in multiple communities that include the statewide program 'What's The Story,' Addison County Spring into the Arts Festival, and Middlebury College's Bread Loaf School of English.
