In his civics class, seniors—many voting for the first time today—are learning to navigate tough topics and engage in respectful debates on issues that matter to them.

What if how we engage with each other is just as important as what we know? Today’s youth are full of so much potential. They’re also growing up in a country where divisions are making it harder to simply talk to one another in a constructive way. This is why we created a free civil discourse resource guide for educators, introduced by our CEO Andrea Lovanhill in her letter “Why Healthy Discourse Starts in Our Classrooms.” The guide shows how teaching social-emotional skills like empathy and communication can bridge divides and foster respect. Download it now to help prepare students for thoughtful conversations and a more connected future.
