Description
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world;
indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." - Margaret Mead.
Members will explore our country's foundations—authority, justice, responsibility, and privacy while studying a public policy problem in our community. Our final product is a portfolio that may be presented to other groups, community organizations, or policymakers. See Project Citizen - civiced.org for more information.
In addition to using the Center for Civic Education's materials, We the Kids will work on two other tasks:
- Work with PS 8's Student Council to facilitate the spending of Participatory Budgeting money that has been granted to the school from the city.
- Begin an oral history project to be shared next fall in observance of the 25th anniversary of 9/11.
Permission includes walking trips within the school community for research purposes.
