The Nevada Center for Civic Engagement will be a leader and model for online, blended, and in person teacher and student engagement ensuring that all teachers and students in Nevada have access to high quality civic engagement programs and materials.
We believe that when students have an in-depth knowledge of our history, civics, and laws they will become active participants in their communities, be a part of an informed citizenry, and have a deeper sense of self-confidence.
In addition, several studies point towards students who participate in programs like ours perform better on standardized testing, report being more prepared for college readiness skills, and has been shown to encourage students to push themselves further.
