On March 29, 2015, I am taking 7 of my AP Government students from Westinghouse College Prep to Washington, D.C. to take part in the Close Up Foundation's Washington D.C. civic education program. Close Up gives students the opportunity to experience their government in action and gain the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need to be engaged citizens. While on the program, students will participate in a variety of hands-on activities such as small group workshops, seminars with Washington, D.C. journalists, lobbyists, and embassy officials, and meetings with members of Congress and their staffs. Furthermore, students will learn from and debate with their peers from across the country, exposing them to differing attitudes and perspectives. The tuition per student is $1787, much more than they can afford. The proceeds of the fundraiser will help offset the tuition costs of all the students.
