Through Teach Democracy programs like the Expanding Horizons Institute, students gain a civic education and their own voice within it.

EHI alumnus Thakur Singh reflects on the confidence he gained, the voice he developed, and the leadership he built along the way.

At last week’s Civic Action Project Expo in Los Angeles, more than 200 students presented research on issues affecting their communities. From immigration policy and juvenile va**ng to eating disorders and civic participation.

Their work is a powerful reminder of what civic learning in action looks like when students identify real problems, research public policy, and use their voices to advocate for change.

Thank you to the students, teachers, and partners who made this year’s CAP Expo so inspiring.

We reflect on the lives that have been lost in service to our nation this Memorial Day.

We honor their sacrifice by continuing the work of civic participation and democracy, and by helping future generations understand the rights and responsibilities that we all share.
