OLIVIA BULLIS

What if students took their education and the policy surrounding their school district into their own hands? Upon the creation of an Equity Task Force in the Bozeman School District in Bozeman, Montana, as well as hearing exclusive comments made by students, three high schoolers came together and founded the Bozeman Inclusivity Project. Drawing in a multitude of high school volunteers, as well as support from community members and organizations, the Bozeman Inclusivity Project has rolled out "demands" for what they believe will make the school environment more equitable, and keep the Equity Task Force as well as its promises in check, through outreach, education and policy implementation. The power to make change starts with one, and spreads to more. Co-Founders Mason Scurry and Olivia Bulis will be discussing their story, as well as how they've retained support and implemented policy change as well as change within their school environment, supporting the education of all.
