Making a difference!

All citizens must be given opportunities and knowledge to effectively participate in our democracy, but we recognize that not all citizens have the same degree of access to quality civic education. Thanks to the support of our generous donors, 24% of students and teachers on Close Up programs received financial assistance during the 2017-18 academic year.

Donate and help us continue to ensure that the Close Up Foundation’s work reaches young people from all backgrounds.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Mia Charity or call 800-CLOSE UP today.

Although everyone will not always agree, everyone has a voice and needs to be heard.

I plan to introduce Close Up’s professional development to the teachers I work with…

and use this as a part of my school’s requirement that students take action on issues of local, national, and international importance.
