Project Summary

Detailed Story

Every year, a group of middle school students embark on a mission to address pressing community challenges. As part of their civics education, they research, plan, and implement projects that tackle issues such as climate change, environmental sustainability, and community well-being. For students passionate about climate action, TCI’s website serves as a critical resource, providing policy toolkits and relevant materials to guide their research and advocacy. These students engage in activities such as awareness campaigns, policy recommendations, and sustainability initiatives within their communities.

Impact Statement

Approximately 90 students participate in the initiative, with many utilizing TCI’s resources to strengthen their understanding of policy and community solutions. Their projects not only contribute to competitions like the Civics Bee but also foster real-world impact in their communities.
