1 US Civics Training Initiative Member Benefits As of Fall 2017 Overview Our mission is to train the next generation of American citizens in the core principles of freedom and liberty. The US Civics Training initiative is unique in both the content development and delivery. We look at the founding documents themselves and use the founders own words to interpret their meaning. Additionally, we look for broad themes surrounding the ideas of freedom and liberty that sometimes span 100 and 200 year periods. Our delivery system is through the internet via short format web videos as well as downloadable tools and resources. We also provide monthly Civics Training campaigns that highlight civic holidays or significant dates in history. These s allow members to share this information easily with family, friends, coworkers and others in their social networks. Membership Benefits Overview The US Civics Training Initiative has always provided some core teaching on the Declaration, Constitution and other civics videos for free to the world. However to help fund and further spread civics training to largest possible audience we invite you to become a member For just $20 joining fee, a member will receive all of these additional benefits beyond the free training that we provide. Over 100 additional webinars, pdfs, and other digital resources Key Historical Documents about Freedom and Liberty PDF versions of some of our key training Monthly Service that will contain key civics links related to holidays or historical dates of the particular month.
