Connecting Civic Education and a Healthy Democracy - Carnegie Corporation of New York report
Community & State Activities, Featured
The responsibilities that come with citizenship are learned, not inherited. We owe it to our children and to society to invest in civic education. Connecting Civic Education and a Healthy Democracy, a report published by Carnegie Corporation of New York, highlights the need for state-level policies that expand and improve K–12 civic learning.
The report calls for greater investment in civics and features examples of how coalition building has helped advance more robust policies in a growing number of states. Equipping young people with the tools to think critically, to engage in constructive debate, and to discover their agency is critical to reducing polarization and strengthening American democracy. Visit Carnegie.org/CivicsPolicy to download the free report, to check out the state of civics in your state, and to hear how civics advocates are building momentum to expand access to quality civic education for all students.
