ACS is pleased to announce one of our signature programs: Constitution in the Classroom, which will include an ACS-wide volunteer effort this fall!
About Constitution in the Classroom
Constitution in the Classroom is an ACS effort to bring our members and supporters into primary and secondary school classrooms to raise awareness of fundamental constitutional principles. As lawyers, law students and educators, we have a resource that we can share with students: our knowledge and appreciation of the Constitution. By spending as little as one hour teaching in a high school, middle school or elementary school classroom, you can excite young minds about their constitutional rights and responsibilities.
Our fall 2009 Constitution in the Classroom project will include a national volunteer effort, placing ACS volunteers in classrooms across the country on or around Constitution Day, Thursday, September 17th. As a volunteer, ACS will provide you with grade-specific lesson plans and tips for finding a classroom.
Get Involved
