Frequently Asked Questions

What are the goals of the project?

The curriculum is designed to provide our students with the personal, civic, and academic skills necessary to become engaged and active citizens. The group may not solve the social problems identified this year, but will develop the experience necessary to lead the way on civic issues in the future.

What is the Civic Leadership project?

After the summer seminar, students will meet regularly in small groups from September through May to work on a civic leadership project of their choice. Projects will be about civic matters that are important to each group and will explore ways to make a difference. 

Why civic leadership?

After spending a summer learning about the origins of freedom and citizenship, the goal is to coach our students to put it into practice during a yearlong curriculum designed to help students become leaders in active citizenship.
