Constitution in the Classroom is an ACS effort to bring our members into primary and secondary classrooms to raise awareness of fundamental constitutional principles. As lawyers, law students and educators we have a resource that we can share with students: our knowledge and appreciation of the Constitution. By spending as little as one hour teaching in a high school, middle school or elementary school classroom, you can excite young minds about their constitutional rights and responsibilities.

Get Involved

Our spring 2010 efforts will coincide with Law Day, Saturday, May 1, 2010. Law Day provides an opportunity to reflect on the challenges and power of the law. ACS’s Constitution in the Classroom is a great way to accomplish that goal, and we hope you can help us achieve it.

If you are interested in participating in Constitution in the Classroom this spring, either by volunteering in a classroom or becoming a Project Coordinator, please sign up! Classroom volunteers, please complete our online form HERE. For volunteers in the Washington, D.C. metro area, please sign up HERE. Project Coordinators ask local schools to work with us and serve as liaisons among schools, volunteers and the ACS National Office. If you would like to volunteer as a Project Coordinator, please email classroom@acslaw.org.
