Your Support Matters

We believe every student deserves to learn about our nation’s history in an engaging way, regardless of their background. Our We the People Constitution Tour specifically serves Title I schools in D.C., providing enriching educational experiences to students from underserved communities.

As the We the People Tour program costs rise, your donation helps cover essential expenses like transportation, lunches, tour guides, and educational materials. Your donation at any level will ensure that more students can participate in the tour this school year, free of cost.
