Empowering Voters. Defending Democracy. 

 

INTRODUCING. . . CIVICS AND YOU!
Welcome to LWVSKC's six-part turnkey interactive civics experience to educate and engage youth and communities in our democracy. This program is designed for Washington State high school teachers to enhance their civics instruction but can easily be used by community colleges and community groups seeking to promote civics learning with the aim of developing leadership skills and the habit of voting.

What’s included? The program has two major components:
  • The Fighting for The Vote component consists of three modules with interactive exercises to examine the history of voting, explore the demographics of who is (and isn’t) voting in recent elections, and to give students practice in making informed choices when voting.
  • The Fighting For Change component focuses on issues identification, the characteristics of leadership, and how an individual can lead at any age. The three modules in Fighting For Change provide interactive exercises to engage students.
Civics and You! is easy to use - everything needed to teach the modules is included:  presentations, scripts, and supporting materials for exercises. Each of the six modules is designed to be taught in a typical 40-minute class time frame. The modules can stand alone or they can be taught together in the order chosen by you. Keep in mind, the program is best taught in person to optimize its interactive aspects, however it can be taught remotely as well. And League of Women Voters of Seattle-King County (LWVSKC) is proud to share this program with you -- free of charge!
