The

 E3  Project:  
Educate.  Engage.  Empower.  
Our  Mission:  To  advance  the  right  to  education  in  the  local  community  and  abroad  
by  working  to  educate,  engage  and  empower  globally  conscientious  Somerville

Our  Method:  To  train  a  Tufts  University  student  corps  to  facilitate  lessons  on  
human  rights,  the  right  to  education  and  civic  engagement  skills  for  SHS  students.  
Tufts  students  would  earn  ½  credit  through  the  ex-­‐college  as  well!
