The Young Citizens Project helps middle and high school students learn about government, policy, and politics, and gives them real ways to take part in the civic life of their communities.
Clear, plain-language learning about how government, policy, and elections actually work.
Live events and conversations, from debates in public libraries to podcasts with law professors, that invite young people into real civic rooms.
Policy handbooks, writing workshops, and advocacy tools so students can move from asking good questions to showing up.
Our first wave of programming, rolling out through 2026 and 2027.
Structured policy debates, hosted in public libraries, where middle and high schoolers argue real legislation on its merits.
Conversations with prominent law professors, civil servants, and policy wonks, translated into plain language for students new to the subject.
Short, plain-language guides to the issues shaping a student's world, including housing, education, climate, and elections, with sources, arguments, and ways to take part.
We're working with educators, public libraries, and youth programs to launch our first cohorts. If that sounds like you, we'd love to talk.
