Transforming civic education

A more informed public
Strengthening knowledge and support for American civics through articles, webinars, and excellent learning tools that allow anyone to explore our history and central texts.
Our strategic plans for the future
The loss of civic awareness and purpose is the top challenge America faces as we prepare for the 250th birthday of the nation in 2026. That’s why we’ve launched the Teach for Freedom Campaign, a $40M campaign to transform civic education nationwide by 2026.
