Students of the Mississippi-Vermont Community Comection class at Twinfield Union School in Marshfield, Vermont have been learning from a “Rights in Action” curriculum. It is a model that enables students to reflect, create and fulfill action plans while building a voice that empowers and is shaped by community. Imagine a new generation of citizen activists bridging our nation’s North and South divide, raising their voices on important public issues, and enlisting community leaders and educators as partners in the civic and political life of their communities.

I started a flag football program for in my community for girls my age to try to eliminate behavior problems such as fighting and bullying at school. I had been noticing a general feeling of being unhappy in some of my friends at school. I was also noticing a lot of arguing, name calling, bullying and sometimes even fighting among some of the girls. In our very rural area, we did not have a lot of outside activities to keep us occupied in or out of school. We had the school's sponsored programs such as basketball and cheerleading. However that only included a limited few, not all of us.
