Close Up Foundation is a leading organization in civic education and student travel programs, offering hands-on learning experiences for over one million students and educators since 1971. Their mission is to inspire students to become engaged citizens by helping them develop their unique voice and awareness of American democracy. Through their high school and middle school programs, as well as their Teacher Program in Washington, DC, Close Up provides opportunities for students and teachers to explore the people and places that shape our nation, fostering active citizenship for a lifetime.
Close Up Foundation has also partnered with A Starting Point (ASP), serving as the official education partner for their nationwide civic engagement initiative. This collaboration aims to enhance resources available to schools and educate the next generation on pressing issues, with Close Up students having the opportunity to ask questions to U.S. lawmakers in ASP Chat, a video series streamed on the ASP website. Through their innovative programs and partnerships, Close Up Foundation empowers students and educators to make a meaningful impact on our democracy.
