We're happy to share our theme for Civics Week 2024, Democracy Needs YOU!
This year's theme is intended to ensure that our students know that democracy requires all of us to participate, regardless of age or voting eligibility. Our Civics Week resources will be available soon for all grades, K-12, and will include lots of ways to teach NYC students that democracy requires their action and engagement!
Digital Resource Collection: To support your Civics Week initiatives, we're updating our digital resource collection for K-12. This collection will be continuously updated until March 11, 2024, ensuring you have access to the latest and most relevant materials. The High School Logistics Guide can also be found in our Digital Collection.
Student Voter Registration Drive: As an integral part of Civics Week each year, the DOE hosts an annual Student Voter Registration drive for U.S. citizens who are 16 years of age or older. This year’s student voter registration drive will take place in NYCDOE high schools from March 11-15th, 2024.
High Schools should designate a Student Voter Registration Teacher Coordinator to support the Student Voter Registration Drive. If your school has not already done so, please have your principal fill out this Google Form.
For further guidance around Student Voter Registration, Teacher Coordinators, and Per Session submission please read through the Civics Week High School Logistics Guide.
