To a large extent the quality of the Inaugural We the People National Invitational experience
for students and teachers is based upon the expertise and demeanor of the 18 judges. 

Please review the resources on this webpage. In addition, a packet will be available for
you with more information at the National Invitational information desk in the
lobby of the Mason Inn Conference Center & Hotel on Friday evening.

About

CCE LogoThe Center for Civic Education is a national, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization dedicated to cultivating an informed and thoughtful citizenry committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy. We do this primarily through our flagship programs, We the People and Project Citizen, but we also provide high-quality, inquiry-driven curricular programs that bring civic learning to life. The Center additionally equips educators with professional learning that builds confidence and capacity to teach civics with depth and relevance, unlocks students’ civic agency by creating opportunities to demonstrate their knowledge and skills, and share their voices through simulated hearings and other public forums. These initiatives build a national community committed to strengthening civic understanding and participation for all and root everything in decades of research and evidence. Learn more.
