Civic Learning Week 2025: Youth, Your Site, and the Reinvigoration of Faith in Our Democracy - Live Webinar
- Registration Closed
About this Webinar
Join us for a webinar on how your site can empower youth to find place and faith in our communities and democracy. The research and experience are clear: Young people are losing faith in our democracy; the best way to strengthen democracy is to teach it; when young people see they can shape our country, they believe in the future; and when they do that, we establish a foundation for a stronger and more hopeful next 250 years for our country, it’s people and the world. Our states and communities' local history sites are the perfect place to start that change. Join this webinar to learn tricks, tips, and best practice on how you can be part of this change during Civic Learning Week 2025.
