Community Action Projects
Inquiry-based project learning that leads to relevant, real change in students’ communities is what CAPs is all about!
Community Action Projects (Project Citizen) is an inquiry-based student action program that can be adapted to suit the needs of your classroom. Every year thousands of students around the country research and collaborate together to develop new policies around issues that are important to them in their communities. Using proven student engagement methods, Community Action Projects (Project Citizen) can transform civic engagement for all types of learners.
Change your community,
change your world!
