Student Voices Programs
Student Voices programs are a type of civic engagement initiative that has been implemented in several high schools in the United States. The curriculum has high school students research and complete classroom assignments on current issues in government and candidates in local elections.[1] Students then connect with outside communities via the digital public sphere and engage in moderated "Speak Out" events. Student Voices programs have been successfully implemented in curricula in Seattle[2] and Pennsylvania[3] school districts.
