The California State Seal of Civic Engagement (SSCE) is an official recognition awarded to high school students who demonstrate excellence in civic learning, participation, and leadership. Established through Assembly Bill 24 (2017), the seal encourages students to become active, informed citizens who contribute to their communities. To earn the seal, students must show an understanding of government systems, complete a civic engagement project, reflect on their experiences, and exhibit character traits that support the common good. The SSCE is displayed on diplomas and can be included on brag sheets and resumes, making it a valuable distinction for college and career opportunities. By participating, students gain real-world skills in advocacy, leadership, and problem-solving—empowering them to make a lasting impact on their communities.
