Over four years the Michigan Department of Education (MDE) led efforts across the state to implement the Safe and Supportive Schools (S3) initiative. This federally funded school reform effort targeted the 22 lowest performing high schools in Michigan. One of the primary objectives of the initiative was to implement interventions to increase levels of school safety and student support. It was theorized that such climate gains would lead to increased levels of student achievement. Additionally, the Michigan Department of Education committed in the S3 project to have "student voice" help lead school reform efforts. This article provides an overview of Neutral Zone's "youth driven spaces" (YDS) model and its implementation to help support student voice across 19 schools that were part of the S3 school reform effort. As a result, students made significant gains in 21st century skills; schools made improvements in climate and culture; and overall as a result of the comprehensive S3 school reform efforts 70% of the cohort moved off the Michigan failing schools list and graduation rates increased.
