ABOUT US

The best way to preserve democracy is to teach democracy.

Civics Learning Project is Oregon's leader in preparing youth to become active, engaged, and informed participants in democratic society. In the 2021 – 22 school year we provided engaging professional development opportunities to nearly 1,200 teachers and a wide variety of challenging, fun programs to almost 120,000 students all around Oregon.

MISSION: Civics Learning Project is a non-profit organization of individuals, educators, lawyers, and civic leaders working to equip students with the knowledge, essential skills, and motivation to participate in our democracy.
