SIA stands for Students In Action...
Launched in 2006 by the Jefferson Awards
and Deloitte, SIA has been training high
school students to not only become leaders,
but also community advocates. Over the
years SIA has grown, and is currently
active in 325 high schools in 13 different
communities throughout the United States.
One of which is right here in Indianapolis!
In those years SIA has trained over 12,000
students, many of whom were inspired to
continue to serve their community after
high school! Together SIA students from
around the country have performed over
14 million hours of service. That’s a lot of
hours! Imagine how many people’s lives we
have touched in 14 million hours. In the end
it doesn’t come down to just the numbers, it
comes down to the impact we have had on
people’s lives and our communities.
Every year on September 11th, we honor
those who lost their lives in the terrorist
attacks in 2001, including all of the
26 Inspired
firefighters and police officers who gave the
ultimate sacrifice trying to save lives. In 2002
a National Day of Service was launched by
a group helping the victim
