MyImpact Challenge Lesson 1: Identifying Your Problem
In the first MyImpact Challenge activity, students will explore the purpose of the project and start their own project by identifying a challenge in their community they wish to address.
MyImpact Challenge is a civic engagement contest hosted by the Bill of Rights Institute. Our goal is simple: foster a robust understanding of citizenship and get students active in their communities now!
Winners for the 2022-23 contest will be announced by June 21, 2023. The 2023-24 contest will open for entries on September 11, 2023.
Student service projects can win up to $10,000, with $40,000 in total prizes available to students and teachers. Every project that meets the entry guidelines will be rewarded with a digital Civic Achievement badge. Scroll down to learn more!
