Be a Social Studies Ambassador this summer! Are you interested in the history of your community and Connecticut? Are you interested in taking civic action in your home, your town, or the state?
Join students from across Connecticut in this 2025 Social Studies Summer Challenge that was created in partnership with the Connecticut Council for the Social Studies, Connecticut Democracy Center at Connecticut’s Old State House, and CT Public. This summer you can be an anthropologist, archaeologist, biographer, community activist, curator, investigator, historical designer, and/or leader and voter.
The 2025 Connecticut Social Studies Summer Challenge is designed to help you find answers to questions such as “How are we connected to the past?”
