Civic Leaders | June 24-28, 2024
Created in partnership with Prince George’s County Public Schools (PGCPS), Close Up presents Civic Leaders for rising eighth-graders and rising 10th-graders. Civic Leaders will provide exciting opportunities for students to improve civic and political knowledge and efficacy, practice critical skills, and meet Maryland College and Career Ready (MCCR) Standards.
Students will discuss the issues they care about and follow a curriculum that emphasizes building citizenship skills and democratic dispositions. Close Up instructors will facilitate the programs to help middle and high schoolers engage with their community and take part in persuasive writing and speaking activities about pressing current issues.
