    Alumni Network



    The We the People Alumni Network is a new branch of the We the People
    The Citizen and the Constitution
    program from the Center for Civic Education.
     The experience students have as a part of the We the People program is often a
     unique event in their lives, and many have expressed interest in staying connected
     with the program and other alumni. To that end, the Center is now expanding the
     program into a lifelong experience.

    Through the Alumni Network, participants of the program on any level will have the opportunity to attend conferences and reunions with other alumni, become involved in the We the People program in local schools, be informed of participation opportunities in their area, be introduced to other alumni at college and more. Much of the Alumni Network is currently under development, but, with the help of interested alumni, all of the above will soon be a reality.

    How can you contribute? First, if you are a program alum, take a few seconds to update your contact info by filling out our registration form. Also be sure to let us know if you are interested in becoming actively involved in the Alumni Network. Second, if you are in contact with any We the People alumni, please refer them to this address or print a copy of the form so they can send it to us. Finally, keep checking these pages to be informed of new Alumni Network activities and opportunities.

    Welcome to the next step in your civic life: the We the People... Alumni Network.
