The DEJOY\WOS Family Foundation made a 10-year pledge in 2015 to support iCivics, which exists to engage students in meaningful civic learning. They provide civics teachers well-written, inventive, and free resources that enhance their practice and inspire their classrooms. iCivics’ mission is to ensure every student receives a high-quality civic education, and becomes engaged in – and beyond – the classroom.
This is why, after serving 25 years on the bench of the Supreme Court, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor founded iCivics in 2009: to restore civic education in our nation’s schools. Today, iCivics is a large and enthusiastic community of educators, spanning 50 states. iCivics is used by over 150,000 teacher-users. More than 5 million students benefit from their resources each year and they are now the largest provider of civics curriculum in the nation.
Most importantly, iCivics resources are completely free. “We want all students to receive good civic education, regardless of geography or income. We believe free and high-quality digital resources help equalize the educational playing field.”
