Civic education is essential to ensuring each and every person across this country is equipped with the necessary tools to engage as members of our self-governing society.
Our Why
Our Why

It’s not possible without our partners
CLW requires the participation of many states, schools, and organizations. We invite you to become an official CLW Partner! Your commitment to—and championship of—civic learning will be recognized nationally through the campaign. By joining forces, partners can engage more students, educators, and community members in this movement.
