Impact

Civitas International Programs have trained over 400,000 teachers and brought interactive civic education programs to over 12 million young people worldwide. Each of the Civitas International Programs partners in thirty U.S. states and eighty-four international sites has years of experience working with local educational stakeholders and government entities to develop and sustain high-quality curricula that support democratic participation.

Return on Investment: For every dollar of U.S. government grant funds contributed, international partners have received an average of $5 of in-kind contributions and outside donor funding to support their work.
 
Susana Restrepo, Civitas Program Director in Colombia, provides an example of her Civitas experience in the essay, What Civitas Means to Me.

About

CCE LogoThe Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
