Civics and Law-Related Education
The Law, Youth and Citizenship Program administers several
nationally renowned civic education programs, as well as sponsoring many
local and regional civic education events. LYC also works with New York
teachers and school districts to offer no-cost professional development
in the areas of civic and law-related education. The LYC program also
offers many no and low-cost publications to teachers, as well as rich
online resources for classroom teachers.
The We the People programs are sponsored nationally by the Center for Civic Education and
in New York State by the LYC Program. The programs are intended to
improve knowledge, skills and civic attitudes in our representative
democracy.
LYC is the New York State administrator for the We the People
Program, Project Citizen Program and the Representative Democracy in
America Program.
The 2013 New York State High School We the People Hearings
