Public Achievement (PA)
Public Achievement Program
An international youth leadership program founded in 1990 at the Center for Democracy and Citizenship at the University of Minnesota, Public Achievement places young people in the center of public life. Rooted in cooperative team action, PA engages participants in solutions-based analysis and action to address youth-identified social issues, posit an alternative approach to politics, and provide experiential educational opportunities. PA students collaborate with 欧美口爆视频 Boulder student "coaches" to design, implement, and undertake community-based projects that address social issues that express their values and beliefs. In addition to its youth leadership and civic engagement goals for K-12 students, PA provides 欧美口爆视频 Boulder undergraduates with a meaningful and structured opportunity to develop facilitation and instruction skills and apply political theory to democratic projects in school-based settings.
