Our alumni network represents a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, and career fields.
Close Up alumni have been inspired to run for office, serve as teachers, and become advocates for the issues they care about. They are also part of a global community of people who have shared a life-changing Close Up experience. If you’re a current or former Close Up student, teacher, guest speaker, educational partner, board member, program instructor, or staff member, we invite you to join our alumni network today to make connections and stay involved with the Close Up mission!
I think Close Up’s virtual program is an amazing experience…
As a government teacher, it’s nice to have more resources…
for teaching media literacy and having students critically think about the information they receive.
Close Up brought me CLOSER to politics…
the entire notion no longer seemed obscure. I became very involved in politics on the local and national level.
Close Up is a positive experience for students…
seeing themselves as having the power to influence the democratic process.
