What is Civics for Life?
Many Americans lack a fundamental understanding of our democracy and how it functions, resulting in reduced civic engagement, low voter turnout, incivility, and polarized division. We aim to address the knowledge gap of countless Americans who received little to no civics education during their school years. Being well-informed in participating in your community and government is a simple and effective recipe for elevating your role as a citizen.
