This Civics for All of US distance learning program is available for groups of 10 or more students free of charge. 

Each program will be led by one of our educators located at National Archives sites, the Center for Legislative Archives, and Presidential Libraries across the country. After submitting your program request, you will be connected to an available National Archives educator to confirm your reservation. 

We require that the requesting educator or another educator from your institution be present during the student distance learning program to observe the session and support classroom management.

Programs are also offered as regularly scheduled interactive webinars. Registration is required, but there is no minimum attendance prerequisite.
