Meet the Ambassadors

Who are we?

Now we are not just some normal New York City 7th Graders. We are the New York City Junior Ambassadors of Icahn Charter School 4. We are 7th graders who have studied the United Nations, global issues, the Sustainable Development Goals for 2030, and how to make a difference.

 

It is our mission to achieve SDG 16.2

end violence against children 

 

Did you know that all children have rights? As children ourselves, we need to understand the rights that we have and help others understand, too. That includes the treatment of children and that children should be respected and not harmed in any way.

​

We have decided to focus on ending violence against children in our own communities by protesting the gun violence that has taken the lives of many kid throughout our nation and working to help curb the bullying epidemic that has taken over our schools, playgrounds, and social media platforms. When we led our school in a walkout, we helped honor and respect those who have been killed by gun violence, and sent messages to our politicians to support gun control measures that will save lives. With our first annual Peer Positivity Party we hope to spread awareness and create safe spaces for all children through fun, games and dance!
