Why just study history when you can make it?
Close Up’s Premier Election Series provides exciting programs offered only once every four years—so don’t miss out!
Through the Premier Election Series, students witness history as it unfolds and delve into the most important and poignant issues facing our nation. Like our Washington Program, these programs bring students face to face with the people and institutions that impact policy decisions in and around Washington, but they also give students a first-hand look at our electoral process! And as only Close Up can do, we draw upon our educational partnerships and over 50 years of experience to provide hands-on, interactive discussions with an emphasis on specific policy issues.
The once-in-a-lifetime Premier Election Series programs for high school and middle school students include:
High School
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 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.
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.
I learned that there’s a huge network of people with the same goals and drive as me…
and that our collaboration really could make a difference. It gave me hope for the future of our communities and our nation!
