Civics doesn’t have to be boring. We’re creating a **Civics Learning Kit** that makes big ideas—like **dignity, fairness, kindness, and friendship**—come alive for kids and their families.

This kit is all about making civics **real, relevant, and exciting**. Kids will discover what it means to be a good citizen: **treating others the way you’d want to be treated, speaking up when it matters, helping out, and making a difference in everyday life.**

The goal? To give families tools that don’t just teach civics—they **spark confidence, curiosity, and action** that lasts well beyond the classroom.

Join us as we explore new ways to make civics **engaging, meaningful, and unforgettable** for the next generation.

- **Who:** Adults who regularly buy gifts for elementary to middle school children, including parents, guardians, extended family members, and friends. 
- **What:**  30 - 60 minute conversation and feedback session on some of our ideas
- **When:** August 19 - 28
- **Where:** Greater Pittsburgh Region or virtually via Zoom 
- **Compensation:** $100 per hour per participant + Additional Compensation given for all in person sessions 

*Applications will be considered on a rolling basis.*
