Help your students build knowledge, experience, and social capital for college, career, and civic life
GenerationNation’s educational tools, resources, and programs offer students in kindergarten through high school a wide range of opportunities to learn about government, citizenship, leadership and more.
Classroom activities introduce K-8 students to civic learning through social studies, math and language arts and further strengthen civic knowledge and skills in high school Civic Literacy, US History and other courses. The resources are tied to curriculum standards, and support 21st century learning including – but not limited to – civic literacy. Hands-on activities enable students to experience civics and leadership in real life – – which evidence shows is the best way to learn.
