BSDLC is a high school diversity and equity leadership training event that is planned by and led by upper school students in grades 9-12 from independent schools in Maryland, Washington, D.C., Virginia, and Delaware. Through keynote speakers, student-planned and led workshops on pertinent topics, and many opportunities for participants to share their voices, students experience a day of learning, affirmation, and lasting connections. Our students were encouraged by the workshops they attended and motivated to incorporate what they've learned as they continue to grow as leaders here at Friends.
