Be a Champion for Civic Education

Each school year, from October to March, we offer the "We the People" Constitution Tours™ to over 1,000 eighth-grade students from D.C. Title I schools, free of charge. This hands-on experience takes students to historical sites in D.C., including the George Mason Memorial, the National Archives, Lafayette Park, the U.S. Capitol, the White House Visitors' Center, and the Old Supreme Court Chamber. For many students, this tour is their first time visiting these important sites, offering a unique educational experience beyond the classroom.
By the end of the tour, students gain a well-rounded understanding of how the Constitution is applied in practice and the importance of each citizen's role within the American democratic system. During the 2023-2024 school year, our tour served 1,054 students from 12 D.C. Title I schools. Feedback from participants shows a remarkable increase in their commitment to civic engagement and public service.
