The Center for Civic Education is celebrating Women's History Month with a special 60-Second Civics podcast series dedicated to explaining the struggle for equal rights for women and how our Constitution and laws evolved to make our nation a more representative democracy. In addition, a variety of free lesson plans on women's suffrage and involvement in the civil rights movement are available for the elementary, middle, and high school levels. 

The Center for Civic Education and James Madison’s Montpelier are partnering to launch the Constitutional Toolkit, a six-week free webinar series where experts will explain and discuss key contemporary issues related to the Constitution. Each Tuesday night at 7 p.m. Eastern from March 16 to April 20, we’ll feature a special guest who will help us dive into a different subject based on YOUR frequently asked questions. Registration is free, but space is limited. Join us and reserve your spot today!

This summer the Center's American History and Civics Academies will be held virtually!  The Academies immerse high school teachers and students in the study of constitutional history and principles following the intellectual framework of the We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution curriculum. Applications are now open. Apply Today!

Civility, respect, individual responsibility, self-discipline, civic-mindedness, open-mindedness, compromise , toleration of diversity, patience and persistence, compassion, loyalty, generosity. Do these values matter to you? They matter to us. We teach these values through We the People and other programs. If you do believe, then please support the one organization that teaches these values in schools—at every grade—throughout the country. Because values like these are what sustains civic virtue in our society. Please give.  Even a small donation will help keep these values alive. 

The We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution National Finals questions are now available. This year's competition will feature two questions rather than the traditional three. The We the People National Finals will be held online April 24-26. Good luck to all competitors as you prepare for this lifechanging event!
