Civic education for all. Teaching resources, activities, and more.
CIVICS Beyond builds youth’s capacity for civic engagement and promotes civic education access nationwide. Inspired by the work of the Harvard CIVICS Program, which engages more than 140 undergraduates at Harvard College and more than 600 elementary and middle schoolers in the Greater Boston Area, CIVICS Beyond expands that work to every teacher and learner who wants to promote civic education in their classrooms.
