New York Civic Learning Week is a statewide celebration of civic education, democratic engagement, and student voice. Join us March 9-13, 2026, as educators, students, civic organizations, policymakers, and community leaders come together to spotlight the critical role of civic learning in preparing all young people to participate fully and responsibly in civic life.

Civic education and engagement are essential to a healthy democracy.

New York Civic Learning Week aims to build broader awareness of and support for civic learning; amplify and celebrate youth voice; and empower participants to envision themselves as shapers of their communities and change makers in our democracy.

How Can You Get Involved?

We invite everyone, including students, teachers, administrators, advocates, policymakers, parents, youth organizations, and the general public to participate in New York Civic Learning Week by hosting and attending events.
