NEW INFORMATION COMING SOON!

Please see below from this program in past years. 

UC Merced students develop leadership skills and learn how to share their personal stories using the Ganz Model of Public Narrative. Reaching out to all middle schools in Merced County, small presentation teams of 3-5 share their own life stories and tools for success to motivate and encourage 4,000 middle school students to stay in school and graduate from high school. We have helped raise the graduation rate in Merced County by 5%, and we need your help to reach 10%!

We were featured on KVIE in April 2018. You can check it out here: https://vids.kvie.org/video/merced-project-n75vpo/!

Time Commitment:
MCP10% requests that after completing training, student presenters participate in at least 4-6 school team presentations a semester (approx. 10-15 hours). 

Transportation and ongoing support provided.
