The Center’s flagship civic education program, We the People is a complimentary curriculum for elementary, middle, and high school students covering the history and principles of constitutional democracy in the United States.
We the People culminates with simulated congressional hearings where students testify before a panel of judges acting as members of Congress. In addition to state competitions across the country, every spring, the Center hosts the We the People National Finals and National Invitational for high school and middle school students in the Washington, D.C., area.

Project Citizen provides a practical first-hand approach to learning about our complex system of government and how to monitor and influence it. Through our curriculum, students work together to research their community and discover problems to address. Then, students identify solutions in the form of policy that require government involvement.
Students also have the opportunity to display their research and policy suggestions through showcases. These are a way for students to show their research and present their policy solutions to their classroom and community.
