Outreach commission plans annual Speak Up For Change week

The outreach commission is currently planning Speak Up for Change Week, which will take place in January. This year’s theme is Breaking Barriers.

According to outreach commissioner senior Stacey Chen, Breaking Barriers is a universal theme that can be discussed by and relates to a wide range of students with different perspectives on topics like mental health, parent relationships, sexuality and bullying.

The outreach commission is currently recruiting student speakers through social media and email. Speakers will present during the annual Speak Up For Change assembly, and some speakers will be interviewed by Humans of Saratoga High, where they will then be featured on Facebook and Instagram, Chen said.
