The Civic Trust®

The Civic Trust® is a nonpartisan educational initiative dedicated to enhancing civic literacy, skills, and participation across schools, workplaces, and communities. Through programs like the National Civics Bee®, we partner with state and local chambers, businesses, policymakers, and community leaders to offer dynamic opportunities that aim to nurture active citizenship and inspire future leaders.

State champs from across the country are preparing for the National Civics Bee® National Championship on November 12 in Washington, D.C. Check out the highlights from the inaugural Connecticut State Finals.
