Humanities Montana speakers meet with Democracy Project teens

Across Montana, teens participating with The Democracy Project have been working with their local libraries to book Humanities Montana speakers. As part of the program year, teens work on a project to effect change, preserve history and culture, or meet a need in their respective communities. The goal of the program is for teens to better know their role in an evolving democracy through direct civic participation. For the third year of The Democracy Project, speaker Tahj Kjelland has met with teens at eight libraries to help mind-map their ideas for their final civic projects. Tahj’s program is also free and available to students across Montana through our Speakers in the School’s speaker’s bureau. Visit Tahj’s Express to Speak program page to learn more!
