Background
Throughout the nation's history, political leaders have looked to our schools
and to our young people as a source of inspiration for the continued success and
health of our nation. That is why the Center for Politics, a nonpartisan unit of
the University of Virginia, created the national Youth Leadership Initiative.
The Youth Leadership Initiative (YLI) provides civic education classroom resources
to teachers absolutely FREE OF CHARGE. There is no catch.
YLI is a national civic education program designed to involve students in the
American electoral and policymaking process. To achieve this goal, YLI offers
technology-based civic education resources that foster long-term civic engagement.
Services
Educators can sign up today, free of charge.
Upon signing up, educators will receive password access to the course units under the YLI Lesson Plan
section, as well as free classroom resources and e-mail updates. Look under "Why Sign Up?"
for additional information.
If you are a student, community member, parent, or organization, see how you
can bring the Youth Leadership Initiative to
your school!
Partners
YLI is excited to partner with like-minded organizations such as:
- American Bar Association
- National Association of Secretaries of State (NASS)
- World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE)
- Public Agenda
- League of Women Voters
- Close Up Foundation
Thank you for strengthening America's democracy with the Youth Leadership Initiative!
