Student Leaders Initiative

SLI: Lead With Purpose.
Create Change.

Join students from Cupertino, Fremont, Homestead, Lynbrook, and Monta Vista to lead projects that help schools, support students, and strengthen the community.

Students Know Students Best

Your Ideas Can Improve Our Schools.

Every student perspective matters. Student leaders meet every two weeks to discuss issues, compare what students and teachers need at each campus, organize events, and give useful feedback to the FUHS Foundation. Members work across school lines, take responsibility for projects, and learn how a community nonprofit turns ideas into action.

This is not a program where students simply wait for assignments. Bring your ideas, propose a solution, and build a team to make it happen.
