Building an engaged citizenry starts with civic education

The National Archives and the National Archives Foundation have formed strategic partnerships that enable students to interact with the National Archives and encourage student engagement in government.
For decades in America, civic literacy, individual rights, and historical understanding have been waning. The National Archives is uniquely positioned to change this trajectory by supporting educators across the nation to help inspire students and supply them the tools and skills to be active participants in our civic life.
In partnership with the Center for Legislative Archives at the National Archives, the Foundation is hosting a series of free online civics workshops that give educators the tools they need to teach their students using primary source documents straight from the holdings.
A permanent exhibition that explores how generations of Americans sought to fulfill the promise of the founding documents.
