Welcome to Project TEAL!
By: Roman Messali
Did you know 1 in 4 American high school students don’t know the three branches of government? Did you know only 17% of young Americans trust the government? Did you know 11 states in the U.S. don’t require a civics course for graduation? America has a democracy problem, and we’re here to fix it.
This is Project TEAL, the youth led movement to revitalize American democracy by engaging youth in civics. We do this by creating and providing resources in two major facets: Education and Advocacy. Currently, Project TEAL operates in over 5 states, working closely with school districts to implement civics based education. Additionally, we partner with other non-profit organizations and create monthly social campaigns to empower young people to engage in government.
As we move forward, Project TEAL will expand its horizons and create periodic articles on contemporary events, policy, and civics engagement. If you would like to learn more about Project TEAL and get involved, please visit our website. We hope to see you again soon!
