Grants to this Grantee
for implementation of the Educating for American Democracy Roadmap
iCivics champions equitable, nonpartisan civic education so that the practice of democracy is learned by each new generation. With this grant, iCivics will use the Educating for American Democracy Roadmap to co-design openly licensed instructional materials and professional development support with a national cohort of educators. The instructional materials will be localized and piloted in partnership with several school districts across the country. (Substrategy: Content, Tools, and Services)
for general operating support
Despite the many issues facing our country, or perhaps because of them, young people have divorced themselves from the political process. This is reflected, among other things, in their persistently low participation rates in our elections. Nor have we succeeded in imparting to young people, especially in low-income and historically marginalized communities, the knowledge and skill required for political participation. As one of the largest civic education organizations in the country, iCivics focuses on putting youth and equity at the center of a new movement to prioritize civics in schools.
