Educating Leaders of the Next Generation
The West Virginia Civics Education Foundation is committed to providing innovative civics education for the next generation. Our programs are designed to inspire students to engage actively in their communities and understand the importance of civic responsibilities. Together, let’s cultivate informed leaders for tomorrow.
Hands-On Civic Education
We help students grow into engaged, informed citizens through hands-on civic education. From classrooms to courtrooms, they experience how government works and why participation matters. Our programs build confidence, leadership, and a deep understanding of democracy in action.
Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders
By empowering young people today, we’re shaping the leaders of tomorrow.
