Here are the civic education programs that will benefit directly from your generosity:
We the People Constitution Tour:
Each year, our "We the People" Constitution Tour™ takes more than 1,400 eighth-grade students from D.C. public and charter schools to significant historical sites in D.C. to learn about the first three articles of the U.S. Constitution. Feedback shows that this tour has a significant impact on students, encouraging them to participate in public service, vote, and understand their rights and responsibilities as American citizens.
The We the People Hub:
A digital collection of resources for teachers that offer a deeper understanding of civic rights and responsibilities. These foundational resources are crucial for understanding the Constitution and the structure of the American government, making them essential for any civics curriculum.
Teaching the Constitution Through Theater:
Discover original plays developed with StoryWorks Theater, focusing on pivotal moments and figures in American history. Each play is accompanied by a set of curriculum materials, including lesson plans, discussion questions, and activities, designed to integrate seamlessly into teaching.
Teacher Professional Development Workshops:
Our educator workshops provide free resources and new strategies for teaching civics. Each year, our organization participates in the Three Branches Institute virtual teacher workshop in collaboration with the White House Historical Association, the Supreme Court Historical Society, and the National Archives and Records Administration.
"Capitol Kids!" Webinar Series:
This series brings authors to middle school classrooms nationwide to discuss American history in a fun way and inspire democratic participation.
