Online – Project Citizen Info Session

Curious about how students can engage directly with real-world civic issues? Join us for a Project Citizen Info Session to learn more about this nationally recognized program, now coordinated in Minnesota by the Minnesota Humanities Center.

This one-hour session is perfect for:

• Educators interested in bringing Project Citizen to their classrooms in the next school year, as well as those returning after a few years
• Potential judges or volunteers who want to learn more about student showcases
• Community members interested in supporting student civic engagement

Participants will:

• Hear about the Minnesota Humanities Center’s new role as state coordinator for Project Citizen
• Learn about upcoming Project Citizen Student Showcases: our soft launch on May 5, 2026, and the larger showcase planned for May 4, 2027
• Get an overview of the program from the national Center for Civic Education
• Hear from a longtime participant and Minnesota teacher about her experience guiding students through the Project Citizen program

This session is your chance to ask questions, see how the program works, and learn how students move beyond simulations to truly shaping civic outcomes.
