Our Mission
Civic Education Washington State seeks to promote an enlightened and responsible citizenry that is committed to democratic principles and actively engaged in the practice of democracy in the United States and in other countries.
Our goal is simple: To train the teachers that will guide our youth.
This organization promotes the principles and practice of democracy.
We would like to thank Robert Schuck for his 16 years of service. He has retired from our Board of Directors this year after so much time and effort spent making sure that We the People and Project Citizen ran smoothly and were enjoyable experiences for all.
Our Staff
All of the staff for Civic Ed. Washington State are picked by Kathy Hand herself.
