We are a non-partisan coalition of nonprofits, educators, think tanks, universities, and other partners committed to preparing all students to become more civically aware and involved. We exist to make Massachusetts the national leader in ensuring that civics is a core component of every young person’s educational journey.

Our Mission and Vision

 

Our mission is to advance civic education and engagement in Massachusetts by convening a broad range of stakeholders committed to building support for innovative legislation, funding, and policies that facilitate high quality and equitable learning opportunities for students, teachers, and the wider public.

We envision a Commonwealth where all students have equitable opportunities for high quality civic education that prepare them to be thoughtful, informed, and engaged members of their communities locally and beyond.
