About iCivics
Founded in 2009 by Sandra Day O'Connor, iCivics is a nonpartisan nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing civic learning and strengthening constitutional democracy through education. We believe that informed, engaged citizens are essential to a healthy democracy, and that every young person deserves access to a high-quality civic education that prepares them to participate fully in civic life. Our mission is to equip educators and students with the knowledge, skills, and resources needed to understand how government works, engage thoughtfully with diverse perspectives, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and our nation’s future.
Through innovative digital learning experiences, award-winning educational games, classroom resources, and inquiry-based curricula, iCivics reaches millions of students and educators each year. Our programs are designed to make civic learning engaging, relevant, and accessible, helping students build a deeper understanding of government, law, history, civic responsibility, and democratic institutions. By connecting civic knowledge with real-world application, we empower young people to see themselves as active participants in our self-governing society and to recognize their ability to shape the world around them.
At iCivics, we are driven by the belief that the best way to strengthen our democracy is to teach it. We are committed to ensuring that civic education is a national priority and that every student—regardless of background, geography, or circumstance—has access to learning experiences that are nonpartisan, standards-aligned, inclusive, viewpoint-diverse, and academically rigorous. We believe students benefit from civic education that reflects and honors their identities and experiences while fostering an appreciation for the many perspectives and contributions that have shaped American society.
Our culture is rooted in purpose, collaboration, innovation, and service. We are a mission-driven team of educators, advocates, and changemakers who bring urgency, curiosity, and a commitment to continuous improvement to our work. We collaborate closely with teachers, school leaders, partners, students, and one another to develop impactful solutions that meet the evolving needs of civic education. We seek individuals who are growth-minded, entrepreneurial, and passionate about expanding educational opportunity—people who are eager to help ensure that the next generation has the knowledge, confidence, and civic agency needed to sustain and strengthen our democracy for years to come.
