Organizations At Your School

Most schools have many different organizations you can get involved in that are civically based. Check your school for some of the groups listed below and see what is available for you.

Key Club
Key Club is the oldest student service organization in the United States. Established in California in 1925, and part of the Kiwanis International organization, Key Club members better themselves by bettering their schools and communities.

We The People
We the People: The Citizen and the Constitution, run by the Center for Civic Education, is an innovative nationally based program designed to promote civic competence and responsibility among the nation’s elementary and secondary students. The program enhances students understanding of the institutions of American constitutional democracy while also helping them discover the contemporary relevance of the Constitution and Bill of Rights

Mock Trial
In Mock Trial students are given case information and must study both prosecution and defense. There are eight official members of a Mock Trial team, and those eight members are separated into two teams of six. Teams compete against other schools and can eventually attend the National Mock Trial Competition if they qualify in May.

Teen Court
Teen Court is meant to give students an opportunity to learn more about court proceedings. First time juvenile offenders are put into this less formal court setting and tried and judged by their peers. Local attorneys train students on how to fulfill roles as defendant, prosecution and jury.
