CIVICS PROGRAM
The McCormick Foundation is dedicated to improving access to quality civic education and engagement opportunities for Chicagoland youth ages 12-22.
The Foundation pursues this by promoting civic knowledge, skills and attitudes among youth; building the capacity of civic education teachers; developing lifelong civic habits among youth; and more broadly, strengthening the civic education system.
Over time, the Foundation strives to make Chicagoland a model of civic health by providing its youth with a foundation of knowledge, skills and opportunities essential to lifelong civic engagement.
