What is Project Dignity?
Project Dignity is a student-led initiative that transforms passion into policy. While some school district's have policies that mandate free menstrual products in secondary school restrooms, a critical gap remains: many local school districts have yet to adopt such policies. Project Dignity steps into that gap, demystifying the inner workings of public school governance and equipping students with the tools to advocate for systemic change. By championing these policies in their own districts, student advocates drive a direct, tangible impact that elevates dignity and equity for themselves and their peers.

“I learned that speaking up can feel uncomfortable at first, but it gets easier with practice. I also realized that not everyone will agree, and that’s part of the process. It showed me how important it is to stay respectful and keep pushing for what you believe in.”
