Project Citizen

PROJECT CITIZEN teaches young people how democracy actually works. It provides a practical, first-hand approach to learning about the complex system of government and how to monitor and influence it. Students work together with other students in the group to conduct research in their community to discover problems that they think the government is not handling at all, or not handling well. It is therefore an effective approach for education in democracy. PC trains high school students in seeking public policy interventions to solve community problems.
