The Project Citizen Program teaches youth how to enact change in their community through public policy. To volunteer as an Electronic Portfolio Judge and help youth understand what public policy is, please register for this event no later than February 28, 2023. Volunteers will receive online scoresheets and portfolio(s) via a link sent directly to them through their email. E-portfolios can be evaluated at the volunteer's leisure from March 12 - 17, 2023. Students in Arizona are working hard on their e-portfolios and appreciate the time dedicated by volunteer judges!
