The Millennium Project: Careers That Make a Difference

Cleveland State University - OH, Ohio

The Millennium Project is an annual conference which aims to increase high school students’ interest in careers in public service. It is sponsored by the Maxine Goodman Levin College of Urban Affairs at Cleveland State University and the Cleveland-Marshall School of Law.

At the conference 300 students attend panels on topics such as city planning, government and elections, and community development. Additonal plans for the project include linking it more closely to civics and American government curricula at local high schools, preparing supplementary material for high school teachers, and developing a companion career guide.

We want to develop a student leadership program to provide support to our local agencies with the majority of work being done recruiting campus organizations to serve at various sites. The Campus Compact material was the most useful resource thus far. Thank you!"
