The Civic Circle’s after-school enrichment program uses music and the arts to teach seven civic skills that we call “steps to democracy” to students in Eastern Montgomery County, helping close a well-documented equity gap in civic learning and engagement.
Students learn civility (Listen!), news literacy (Learn!), voting (Choose!), service-learning (Join!), advocacy (Speak!), organizing (Act!), and public service (Lead!), empowering them to exercise civic clout in their schools, communities, nation and world. The Civic Circle also puts on free concerts to get students and families excited about voting and democracy, and produces educational videos that make our program available to teachers and parents everywhere.
The Civic Circle’s one-of-a-kind, equity-informed, multicultural program fills several important gaps in civic learning. We target elementary school-age children often overlooked in the Social Studies curriculum, we use performance-based learning to connect with diverse students, and we teach students the civic skills they will need to become voters and leaders in their communities. Civic learning correlates directly to improved academic achievement, fewer discipline incidents, college completion, and the development of skills that lead to employment.
