Fostering Equitable Civic Engagement and Education within West Virginia

Welcome to the WV Civics Coalition, a statewide organization driving civic engagement in West Virginia. Join us in fostering informed citizens, community responsibility, and positive change. Together, let’s build resilient, inclusive communities through impactful initiatives and advocacy. While we are in our infancy, the West Virginia Civic Education Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, will be our fiscal agent.

Civics Education: Now More Than Ever

The West Virginia Civics Coalition celebrated National Civics Learning Week by hosting Civics Education: Now More Than Ever! at the WV Culture Center on March 11, 2024. This event was primarily funded by a grant from iCivics.

Students, teachers, education leaders, government officials, and other community members gathered from multiple counties across the state to listen to West Virginia leaders, watch a portrayal of Senator Jennings Randolph, get hands-on experience with voting machines, and participate in a Constitutional Scavenger Hunt in the West Virginia History Museum.
