The first step is advocacy. No matter your age, adult or child, anyone can get involved. Talk to your school board, school officials, and community members to start the conversation! Bring up the importance of civic education/participation and incorporate NYSEC's goal of bringing it to every student across New York. It takes everyone!

While it may take time, NYSEC aims to pass New York State Legislation requiring all schools to have a mandatory level of civic and media literacy education within the curriculums.

Civic Participation among students and beyond is one of the most vital things in keeping, protecting, and improving our freedom, democracy, and our very own lives.

Beyond general advocacy, NYSEC is always looking for new partners. One of the best ways to do this is by bringing NYSEC to your very school.

Reach out to us here at NYSEC and we would be ecstatic to partner with you in bringing the initiative forward, especially with your help.

Further down the line, with your strong dedication and hard work, we would love to have you on board our management team in getting NYSEC across the state.
