Piloting the Project Citizen Mentor Initiative

Miami-Dade Community College - FL, Florida
President: EDUARDO PADR?N

The Center for Civic Education selected M-DCC to help develop and pilot their Project Citizen Mentor initiative. This entailed training middle school and M-DCC teachers in the Project Citizen curriculum; recruiting and training 20 M-DCC students as mentors for the middle school students; hosting a Mayoral Exchange that brought 12 mayors, 200 middle school students, and M-DCC student mentors to the College to share their public policy work.

Conferences/workshops/etc. sponsored or co-sponsored by Campus Compact have always been worthwhile… CC does a great job of putting together the right people — speakers and attendees — for general or specific topics."
