Attorney General Janet Mills today applauded the success of the Civil Rights Team Project in its twenty-second year
AUGUSTA - In 2017 the Civil Rights Team Project trained 1,545 students and partnered with nearly two hundred public, private and charter schools, supporting student civil rights teams in their efforts to create a safe environment for all students. One of the more popular school based offerings, the local civil rights teams allow students to create novel approaches to encountering bias in their schools and communities. The program costs nothing to local schools and is entirely voluntary.
