Civic education is needed now more than ever

Why it Matters

Honor a Student

Celebrate achievement. Support growth. Spark confidence.

“I believe in your potential.”
“Your voice matters in our community.”

Honor a Student Today

When Nevada students stand up to share what they’ve learned, their voice matters.
They research, they question, they listen, they lead. They grow not only as learners, but as people.

Your generosity lifts not just one student, but their entire community of learners.

Honor gifts help provide:

Student recognition and celebration
Materials and experiences that build confidence and curiosity
Teacher training that transforms classrooms
Access for rural and under-resourced schools.
