We believe kids are the experts on kids.
We collaborate directly with our student-led team (whose ages range from 7 to 17 years ) to develop tools and resources with which to co-create democratic communities in schools.
We also lead a statewide committee of educators (and other adults) hosted by DemocracyReady NY to advance civics in elementary school on a local, state and national level, often informed by our work with the student team.
We provide all we do for free: our work is funded by grants.
We grow good citizens
