The National Center works with both classroom educators and community-based mentors, such as scout leaders and after-school youth center directors and counselors, who are so influential in the lives of young people. Through workshops, seminars, and symposia nationally, the National Center work with these educators to prepare youth to tackle the tough issues in their lives and communities, and to live in a democracy that is constantly a work in progress.
Professional development programs at the National Center are integrated educational activities designed to challenge conventional assumptions about democracy in the United States. In addition to delivering primary content, each program facilitates critical thinking, activates dialogue, and inspires active participation. |
