The Center for Civic Education is the nation’s leading nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to preparing every generation to understand and uphold the principles and practice of democracy. For more than sixty years, the Center has empowered teachers and students through rigorous, research-backed civic learning programs that cultivate knowledge, skills, and the dispositions essential for self-government. Our flagship initiatives—We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution, Project Citizen, and Foundations of Democracy—are recognized nationally and internationally for transforming classrooms into laboratories of democracy. With a network reaching every U.S. state and congressional district and more than eighty countries worldwide, the Center equips educators and learners to engage across differences, think critically, and take informed civic action. Our work has been featured in books, peer-reviewed research, and award-winning documentaries, including The World We Want, and Citizen Nation. From its beginnings at UCLA in 1964 to today, the Center continues to set the standard for deep, inclusive, and experiential civic education—a proven solution to strengthening democracy across the decades.
