How can Close Up help?
In Close Up’s 50+ years of working hand-in-hand with students and teachers, we have developed extensive experience in managing federal grant funding. Federal funds can go toward our professional development sessions for educators, our customized curricula and classroom resources, our experiential programs in our nation’s capital and in local communities, and our virtual after-school and summer programs. All of our work aligns with the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework and its commitment to inquiry, deliberation, and the experiences of civic life.
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.
Close Up made me realize how SIGNIFICANT my thoughts and views are…
Although everyone will not always agree, everyone has a voice and needs to be heard.
