MA Civics Learning Project logos

LWVCCA is pleased to celebrate and highlight exemplary student civics projects shared by their schools.  In these projects students select a problem, learn about its root causes, strategize how to produce an improvement related to that problem, and develop an action plan. In this process, students speak to community experts and learn how to influence change through advocacy for government or community action.
