My Project
I'm a passionate civics teacher working to empower my students with the knowledge and tools they need to become active, informed citizens. Many of my students are eager to understand how government works and how they can make a difference.
With your support, I’d love to provide my classroom with powerful civics-focused books, inspiring posters, and interactive materials that help students see themselves as agents of change.
I’m also requesting ink for my classroom printer so I can create handouts, graphic organizers, and custom activities that meet students where they are and bring lessons to life every day.
These resources will spark meaningful conversations, boost critical thinking, and encourage students to use their voices in their communities. Your donation will help turn my classroom into a space where the next generation of leaders can grow.
Thank you for believing in civic education and in my students!
More than half of students from low‑income households
