Student Unions / Affinity Groups Holy Names Academy

- - Middle Eastern Student Union is set up as an affinity space and will be opened when students request it.
These youth leaders are responsible for the Dr. Martin Luther King Day Assembly; Dia De Los Muertos Ofrenda; and Heritage Week. They also share their work throughout the school through homeroom representatives and bulletin boards where they share information and resources.
The 2024-25 academic year will continue facilitation skills through listening circles and restorative justice techniques for youth, such as Brave Space and Community Ethics.
Each group has a faculty/staff moderator who supports the student-led space with resources, critical thinking skills, and discussion of facilitation techniques. Moderators also work as a team to schedule student union meetings for the year and coordinate collective events and project work between affinity groups and MSU.
