building a better future
by nurturing learning and critical thinking in young people
The Jacksonville Joe Berg Seminars is an invitation-only honor society for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors, in operation since 1960. Joe Berg Scholars include many of the best and brightest students from public and private high schools in Duval County and neighboring counties in northeast Florida. It is likely that many of these students will become leaders who will decide how to handle the challenges presented by a complex and fractious world. Ordinary citizens will have to deal in one way or another with these challenges as well. Here we present a vision of how an expanded Joe Berg Seminars program can in some small way help both future leaders and ordinary citizens cope with those challenges.
