The California Center for Civic Participation is a non-profit civic education organization that engages young people by sparking their interest with exposure to real excitement of the democratic process.

Through our programs, hundreds of young people across the state have become active players in the public policies affecting their communities. In addition to making informed decisions on today’s issues, youth gain the skills, tools, and resources to thoughtfully assess the questions of tomorrow. Our time-tested and holistic approach to learning gives youth a clear pathway for how to think about the issues, but not what to think. We make learning about government fun, accessible, and relatable. Young people leave our programs more motivated, better informed, and ready to take meaningful civic action in their everyday lives.

We believe youth are the future and we have a responsibility to nurture that. Your donation can help us on that mission.
