Civic holidays are a wonderful chance for Americans to come together to celebrate our country’s accomplishments and opportunities. Each holiday can also inspire young people to further participate in their community.
To help with that, in 2025 the Committee of Seventy is offering FREE lesson plans to educators to empower students to be active and informed members of their community for a special civic holiday every month. Sign up here to receive the 12 lessons throughout the year.
The first holiday, coming on January 20th, is Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Educators who sign up will have access to a lesson that invites students to consider the following question: "What are you doing for others?" Sign up by Jan. 15 and we'll send out the lesson later next week.
As part of the broader civic holiday project throughout the year, we also want to spotlight the wonderful 2024-2025 Civic Calendar from our PA Civics partner, the National Constitution Center, which also contains resources for students to learn about the foundations of American government and democracy.
