Youth for Justice
2007 National Teach-In
Celebrate Civic Learning and Youth Leadership
Mini Grants Available for Peer Teaching about Core American Issues
Youth for Justice, the national coordinated law-related education (LRE) consortium funded by the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention of the United States Department of Justice, invites 100 middle and high school classes across the United States to teach others about the fundamental ideas of American democracy through the Third Annual National Teach-In Celebration of National Youth Service Day and National Law Day. The first 100 classes to register will receive a mini-grant of $100 which may be used to buy materials to conduct their teach-in, provide law-related education resources for their class or school library, host a teach-in conference with another school, or donate to a school club or charity.
Register a class with the National Teach-In Registration Form by January 31, 2007. Participating classes agree to: select a lesson from the National Teach-In website they want to conduct for a teach-in between April 16 and May 6, report their activity to Youth for Justice; and to write to their Representative in Congress about their work.
