The Democracy Project
A teen-led program that empowers young people in Missoula to take action and improve their community.
Use Your Voice
Are you passionate about making a difference in the world? What would you change? What makes you angry? What do you love that you would protect?
Beginning in September, this six-month program will help you build connections and find your civic voice:
- Learn to exercise your rights in our democracy and take responsibility for your community.
- Be part of a fun team while designing and implementing a project in the new Missoula Public Library.
- Get hands-on experience working with local government, business and nonprofit leaders, and others affected by the issue your group chooses to tackle.
Get started now by clicking the button below and submitting your letter of commitment! Forms also available in the YA area on Level One of the library.
This program is a partnership between the Missoula Public Library and the nonprofit Humanities Montana.
A special thanks to the Charles Englehard Foundation and the L.A. Library Foundation for their support.
