The Ohio Center for Law-Related Education provides Ohio’s students and teachers with academic programs and resources, designed to engage students in grades 5-12 in hands-on learning about government, law, and the importance of active citizenship.
The Foundation has been a proud supporter of OCLRE through our grantmaking program for over a decade, funding programs like We The People, Moot Court, Mock Trial, and more.
Most recently, the OSBF awarded OCLRE with $123,000 for its "Civics Education Programs, Teacher Training & Outreach" project to expand its civics education programming by increasing teacher training and student engagement in underserved communities, which serves all 88 counties statewide.
Projects like this help expand knowledge and understanding of the law from an early age and can even inspire the next generation of legal professionals who will promote justice across the state of Ohio.
"With generous support from funders like the OSBF, as well as our sponsors, OCLRE is able to provide programs and authentic opportunities that give young Ohioans a chance to acquire knowledge and skills required for active participation, understanding, advocacy, and leadership," said Kate Strickland, Executive Director of OCLRE.
The OSBF has granted $19M since 1992. To learn more about our grants program, visit osbf.org/grants.
