Testimonials
"This was one of the most meaningful projects I have ever participated in. Never have I seen students show so much enjoyment and enthusiasm. I am so proud of all my students for their hard work and care for their community!"
"Project Citizen is the best way to teach civics ed to kids because they live it. They are involved in issues that concern them in their own communities. They take pride in their work and learn to appreciate the dedication and work of others for their town/city."
"It's hard to pick the best thing about Project Citizen! Students learn the process for problem solving, developing policies, and service learning. But the best parts are watching students become more positive leaders and having them present the information they learn. It is awesome to have a below grade level student get in front of their peers and read fluently for their cause! Project Citizen means so much to my students!"
"I learned to work your hardest although it might be difficult. Also to be patient. It helped me to learn to step up and take a stand."
"Project Citizen taught me a lot about the Omaha Public School system and what it is all about. It also taught me that no matter how old you are, you CAN make a difference. Even if it's picking up trash in your neighborhood or trying to get better computers for your school, you can make a difference. And that's what I think Project Citizen is all about."
"Normally I don't like to do things like this, but this particular event was so fun it even drove me out of the house to communicate with everyone. I believe we did make an impact on our community, and mighty big one it was. The one thing that people need is someone or a party of someones to come in with a suggestion to problems."
