What problem would you like to solve?

Lack of emphasis on participation in democracy and engagement in civic life.

Why is it important to solve? Why is it relevant for the community?

Advanced citizenship, that is informed engagement in political life is imperative to the survival of a healthy democracy.

What idea do you have to address the problem?

Use age appropriate books and media to teach children in school about the importance of participating in public life. Ask them what can be improved and how they intent to go about it.

Who would that help?

All Americans
