The Institute of Political Citizenship at the Jonathan M. Tisch College of Citizenship and Public Service—founded and managed by Tufts undergraduates—seeks to educate and motivate students to engage in state and local government to shape policies that address local community needs. Aware of the impact that grassroots advocacy can have on the greater political landscape, the Institute aims to develop future civic leaders through collaborative research, internships and relevant academic preparation.
Some of the main focuses of the institute are policy based internships with local legislators, voter registration drives, and community based policy projects. In the past few semesters, students have worked on projects in the area focused on low income housing, education policy with respect to immigrants, and budget defecit recovery.
The institute is always looking for new ways to get involved in our local communities, and pair students up with opportunities to make a difference.
