Local Civics aims to transform civics education for young people across the United States. At its core, the model teaches young people about power: how to identify it, how to navigate it, and ultimately, how to harness their unique gifts to empower themselves and their communities. The model has standards-aligned, project-based curricular programming, and goal-based learning that is accessible to all students.
