NH Civic Learning Coalition

The NH Civic Learning Coalition was created to improve and increase civic learning in New Hampshire.

Established in June of 2021 with the support of New Hampshire-based grants, the NH Civic Learning Coalition was awarded national funding in 2022 from the respected Carnegie Corporation of New York through iCivics.

Bolstered by this national endorsement to continue our work, this nonpartisan taskforce is comprised of over 40 educators, students, parents and other stakeholders from across the Granite State.

The Coalition’s goal is to actively work toward creating positive, lasting and equitable change in the civics education arena.
