As part of the Center for Revitalizing American Institutions (RAI), the Working Group on Civics and American Citizenship focuses on citizenship and civic education–and the improvement of both–within a constitutional democracy. It provides guidance for RAI’s research and programmatic initiatives. Its members engage in innovative research projects, grant review, fellow selection processes, and other efforts that advance civic education and strengthen American citizenship. Building toward the nation’s 250th birthday in 2026, members also serve an ambassadorial role by creating and communicating policies and practices that foster the habits, values, knowledge and skills that form the basis of citizenship in a liberal democracy.

The Working Group's complete charter can be found here.
