Trust for Representative Democracy

Graphic:  Project Citizen Hearing

We the People...Project Citizen

A portfolio-based civic education project for middle school classes presented by the Center for Civic Education and NCSL.

Project Citizen takes an innovative approach to addressing the public policy issues and challenges that face our communities, generating ideas to meet those challenges. Co-sponsored by NCSL and the Center for Civic Education, Project Citizen is a national academic competition for middle school students, designed to involve young people in solving community problems. By focusing on real-life problems and concerns, students will learn practical ways to participate actively and responsibly in state and local government. Support for Project Citizen will ensure the expansion of this innovative curriculum throughout the nation's middle schools.
