Susan Etter's List: Project Citizen - State Programs

We the People: Project Citizen is a curricular program for middle, secondary, and post-secondary students, youth organizations, and adult groups that promotes competent and responsible participation in local and state government. The program helps participants learn how to monitor and influence public policy. In the process, they develop support for democratic values and principles, tolerance, and feelings of political efficacy.

The Michigan Center for Civic Education (the Center) is a non-partisan 501(C) 3 corporation, established in 1982 as Michigan’s premier organization solely dedicated to preparing an active and informed citizenry.

The Center's mission is to promote and support the development of responsible citizens through study of civics, government, and law, in elementary and secondary schools.

The Center offers programs and instructional materials aimed at providing young people with the knowledge, and the opportunity to practice the skills necessary for effective citizenship in a democracy.
