Civics For All
Civics education is an essential part of every student’s core academic experience. The Civics for All initiative strengthens opportunities for students to develop skills and knowledge related to democracy. The goal is for all our students to be engaged community members who can think critically and are empowered to chart the course that our city and country take. Civics for All helps schools support students in making connections between history, current events, and democratic structures.
Project Soapbox is a series of lessons to help students identify an issue they care about and develop and deliver a persuasive speech on why others should care about that issue as well. Project Soapbox was developed by Mikva Challenge as part of their Issues to Action curriculum and appears in the Take Action! component of Civics for All.
