OUR GOAL
To inspire you to go back to your schools and move
the lever on preparing students not only for
college and career, but also for CITIZENSHIP.

OUR STRATEGY
“In this interactive presentation, we will discuss what it means to prepare students for citizenship by grappling with some of the key issues educators face, including apathy. We will proffer a few solutions to this pervasive dilemma regarding our youth and the political life.”

OUR AGENDA
1. What Is Citizenship And Why Does It Matters To Educators?
2. Present State Of Political Affairs In California
3. Why The Disengagement?
4. Loss Of Civic Education In Our Schools
5. Turning The Tide: Proven Practices In Civic Learning

WHAT IS CITIZENSHIP?
Aristotle describes the citizen as ‘one who has a share in both the ruling and being ruled’ where citizenship confers some form of status with rights and duties.

UNESCO
Citizenship education has, therefore, three main objectives:
1. Educating people in citizenship and human rights through an understanding of the principles and institutions [which govern a state or nation];
2. Learning to exercise one’s judgment and critical faculty; and
3. Acquiring a sense of individual and community responsibilities.

OUR YOUTH ARE JADED
“Young people do care about politics: they just dislike it. Less than a third think that running for office is an honorable thing to do, according to research from Harvard University, while two-thirds think that politicians mostly go into public service for selfish reasons.”

CIVIC SCORECARD?
Do the students we educate vote regularly?
Do they volunteer with a civic organization?
Do they give to and advocate for their favorite causes?
Do they participate in their children’s schools?
