Project Citizen Trainings

Objectives of the Project Citizen Trainings:

• Students learn to identify, research and solve authentic community problems
• Students learn how to monitor and influence public policy
• Promote youth participation in local and state government
• Integrate public policy instruction with service-learning initiatives
• Provide a framework for educators to meet the new and revised Social Studies Maine Learning Results (application of social studies processes, knowledge and skills) and/or ideas for using Project Citizen as a performance exhibition
