Free Government Classes and Activities for High School Students

The Bill of Rights Institute offers free civics education resources for high school students and teachers across America. Students can join debates with peers nationwide through 'Think the Vote' contests held twice monthly, covering current events and civic issues. The 'MyImpact Challenge' recognizes student community service projects with over $40,000 in prizes for ages 13-19. Teachers get lesson plans on Congress, Presidents, religious liberty, and immigration, plus current events materials tied to Supreme Court cases. Short classroom videos cover the Constitution, amendments, and AP Government test prep. The institute provides professional development courses for educators and close reading guides for primary sources. All materials focus on constitutional principles and help students understand how American government works in practice.
