Social Innovation Program (SIP) students studying gender equity met with Tanya Pineda, Gender Equity Lead of the Los Angeles Mayor’s office recently. Tanya is one of 60+ people Sequoyah’s SIP students have already met with this year. Sequoyah School thank Ms. Pineda for spending time with its students!

The Social Innovation Program (SIP) is a four-year curriculum that hones the changemaking attitudes and aptitudes of every Sequoyah School student, 9th-12th grade. Through talking with people and visiting places, students develop a firm understanding of their relationship to complex injustices facing local and global communities. Graduates are seasoned ethnographic researchers, imaginative creators, and thoughtful collaborators who fluently wield and yield power.
