the student-led movement to revitalize our democracy
Project TEAL is a student-led, non-partisan organization committed to providing young people with the knowledge and tools to become engaged citizens in the democratic process.
Project TEAL emphasizes two major facets to involve young people in civics: Education and Legislative Advocacy.
See below how we implement these two priorities into our work with school districts, non-profit organizations, and advocacy groups.
