How can Close Up help?
In Close Up’s 50+ years of working hand-in-hand with students and teachers, we have developed extensive experience in managing federal grant funding. Federal funds can go toward our professional development sessions for educators, our customized curricula and classroom resources, our experiential programs in our nation’s capital and in local communities, and our virtual after-school and summer programs. All of our work aligns with the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework and its commitment to inquiry, deliberation, and the experiences of civic life.
Close Up made me realize how SIGNIFICANT my thoughts and views are…
Although everyone will not always agree, everyone has a voice and needs to be heard.
Close Up brought me CLOSER to politics…
the entire notion no longer seemed obscure. I became very involved in politics on the local and national level.
I plan to introduce Close Up’s professional development to the teachers I work with…
and use this as a part of my school’s requirement that students take action on issues of local, national, and international importance.
I learned that there’s a huge network of people with the same goals and drive as me…
and that our collaboration really could make a difference. It gave me hope for the future of our communities and our nation!
