Recently I was asked to write an article on civic education for the American Bar Association, to be published in The Judges Journal. Thanks to my work as Vice President of Education for Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge and my role as Pennsylvania State Coordinator of We the People and Project Citizen, I spend much of my life looking at the state of civic and citizenship education. Providing education programs that supplement that which schools are less able to provide is an worthy endeavor, and this article attempts to celebrate the important work non-profits are doing to train young people to be active, engaged citizens in our democracy.
Check out the article, "Civics Education Today: Citizens for the 21st Century"
