Sustaining democracy, together
Since 1965, the Center has been a national leader in developing, implementing, and evaluating civic education curricular and professional development programs. Through our evidence-based programs and educator professional development opportunities:
- Over 70% of middle and high school students report having become more attentive to governmental affairs and feel more prepared to take part in their community.
- Over 90% of students have come to believe it is a citizen’s duty to vote in elections.
- Almost 100% of teachers feel better equipped to teach their students about American government and good citizenship.
