Description

The Michigan Center for Civic Education (MCCE) is a non-partisan, non-profit established in 1982 to offer programs to enhance instruction in civics, government and law. It is the premier organization in Michigan solely dedicated to preparing a strong citizenry.

The Center’s mission is “To promote and support the development of engaged, responsible citizens through civic and law-related education.”

Informed, active citizens are a basic requirement for our free, democratic society. Civic education helps youth become effective citizens equipped to participate at various levels of government. Youth need to develop:

• A recognition that citizenship entails responsibilities as well as rights.
• An understanding of how they can participate positively in the legal and political system.
• An understanding of and respect for core democratic values.

The Center offers programs and instructional materials to teachers, students, and members of the community to provide youth with the knowledge and practice they need to become competent citizens.
