    Project Citizen is a curricular program for middle, secondary, and post-secondary students, youth organizations, and adult groups that promotes competent and responsible participation in local and state government. The program helps participants learn how to monitor and influence public policy. In the process, they develop support for democratic values and principles, tolerance, and feelings of political efficacy

     

    Entire classes of students or members of youth or adult organizations work cooperatively to identify a public policy problem in their community. They then research the problem, evaluate alternative solutions, develop their own solution in the form of a public policy, and create a political action plan to enlist local or state authorities to adopt their proposed policy. Participants develop a portfolio of their work and present their project in a public hearing showcase before a panel of civic-minded community members.

    Project Citizen (Level 1) is also available in Spanish.

    "Project Citizen is a terrific way to learn strategies for becoming an involved citizen and a strong community leader. It also helps good team building in the classroom. My personal experience showed how much each person in my class learned about responsible citizenship".

    --Lauren Smith, 7th grade, Northern Middle School, Grand Rapids, Michigan 2004
