It’s not too late!

As a reminder, we have extended the deadline for applying to the Junior 8 Summit (J8). The deadline is April 17, at 5PM, this Friday! Applying for the J8 Summit is a great way to discuss global issues with your fellow students and think about real-world solutions that you can share with world leaders.
