Our Work
Let's take a deeper dive into our education initiative, and some of the great campaigns and milestones Civic Roots has accomplished!
01
NJ Senate Resolution
In New Jersey, where only 1 in 5 eighth graders reach a proficient level of civic knowledge, our resolution supports requiring a civics or U.S. government course for graduation. It also encourages hands-on, skills-based programs (e.g. mock elections, civic projects, and media literacy initiatives) so students can practice civic engagement in real-world contexts. Most importantly, the resolution affirms that every student, regardless of background, should have access to high-quality civic education that equips them to participate fully and fairly in our democracy.
02
Picture Book Publication
We are publishing a picture book that introduces young readers to youth civic engagement, civic values, community, and the power of their voice. Through storytelling and relatable characters, it makes concepts like rights, responsibility, and participation accessible and inspiring, encouraging children to see themselves as active changemakers in their communities.
03
Documentary Series

Our documentary-style series explores historical civil rights movements that have shaped our society and civic understanding today—stories that are often overlooked, especially in classrooms. By bringing these pivotal moments to life, we help students connect history to the world around them, deepen their understanding of justice and equality, and see how civic engagement can drive meaningful change.
04
Social Media
We use social media to spark curiosity, share accessible civic education content, and highlight stories of youth civic engagement. By connecting students with resources, conversations, and current civic issues, our platforms encourage young people to learn, discuss, and take action in their communities.
