We grow good citizens!
L to R: Madina 13, DK 78, Raquel 17, Lizzy 8, Miles 18, Vick 16, Milli, 14, and Wilson, 12. They’re from Bronx, Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn and Staten Island and all attend New York City public schools.
We collaborate directly with our student-led team (whose ages range from 9 to 18) to develop classroom tools and resources with which to co-create democratic school communities, and foster civic engagement.
We’re also leaders in a statewide committee of educators (and other adults & teens) 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: We are funded through grants and donations.
