The Rendell Center for Civics & Civic Engagement

Since its inception in 2014 by the Honorable Edward G. Rendell and the Honorable Marjorie Rendell, the mission of the Rendell Center for Civics & Civic Engagement has been to provide tools and opportunities for Students and Educators to learn and promote civic engagement in local communities. 

To do this, they have worked with K-12 teachers and administrators to promote non-partisan civic education so that our next generation has the knowledge, skills, and disposition of effective citizens. They deliver innovative experiential learning programs for students and professional development opportunities for educators.

Their educational programs actively work to advance the subjects of U.S. history, government, and civics while translating constitutional concepts into engaging exercises with simple terms that teachers can use in the classroom. Their non-partisan pedagogical resources, programs, and events are offered in both asynchronous and synchronous formats so that teachers may successfully implement them in this new hybrid learning environment. But best of all, The Rendell Center’s programs and materials are FREE to students, teachers, and schools.
