The Reading List

Here are some of the books that our CLTI participants will be reading during our program. By fostering critical thinking, encouraging participation, and teaching the importance of community involvement, these books will lay the groundwork for a brighter future.

Investing in civic education today creates a ripple effect, nurturing responsible citizens who will actively participate in shaping our society tomorrow. Now is the time to act; your donation can make a significant difference in empowering the next generation.

  • Civic education, like all education, is a continuing enterprise and conversation. Each generation has an obligation to pass on to the next..."

    U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice, John Roberts

  • “Without basic civic education, we cannot expect to preserve or improve our system of government.”

    U.S. Supreme Court, Justice Sandra Day O’Connor

  • “Moral maturity and freedom require more than mere adherence to the law; they require an understanding of the why and wherefore of its rules and regulations – the principles that make it worthy of their allegiance.”

    Author Karen Bohlin

  • “No one is born a good citizen; no nation is born a democracy. Rather, both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts off from its youth severs its lifeline.”

    U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan
