Description

How do we raise young leaders who see the world as their classroom and service as their responsibility? In this episode of the School Leaders Project, we sit down with Raj Mundra, an expert in education and civic engagement with over three decades of experience in shaping independent school students into compassionate, community-focused leaders.

Raj takes us on a journey, sharing:

1. The Power of Purpose: Dive into the “Portrait of a Graduate” and discover how schools can mold students into active citizens, ready to give back to society with heart, head, and hand.
2. Learning by Doing: From moving mulch on a farm to building tables for a third-grade classroom, learn how Raj's students put theory into practice—where service and curiosity spark a deeper level of engagement and understanding.
3. Creating Sustainable Impact: How does a school integrate global and local community service into its curriculum? Raj shares how service learning at Lick-Wilmerding High School prepares students to build bridges (literally and metaphorically) and lead with empathy.

Whether you're an educator, parent, or student, this episode offers invaluable insights into creating meaningful learning experiences that go beyond the classroom. Prepare to be inspired by stories of connection, humility, and the tangible impact of service learning on both students and communities.
