Project Community
Project Community is an interactive civic education program designed for elementary school students. It introduces young learners to the foundations of democracy, community involvement, and civic responsibility through age-appropriate activities and discussions.
The program helps children understand their role as members of a community and the importance of working together to solve problems. Through engaging lessons and hands-on activities, students learn about rules, authority, privacy, and justice in ways that are meaningful to their lives.
Project Community builds a foundation for future civic participation by fostering democratic values, teaching problem-solving skills, and encouraging students to become active, responsible members of their communities from an early age.
