Law class students at Little Village Lawndale High School are going to travel to Washington D.C.! The students are taking part in a program with Close Up, offering them experience with senators, in group workshops, seminars, tours, and a variety of hands-on activities to learn about OUR DEMOCRACY. The students will experience firsthand the history, politics, and culture of the nation's capital. They will learn from the debate of their peers across the country, exposing them to differing attitudes and perspectives. These are some of the best, brightest, and courageous students.

The all-inclusive program cost for each student, including instruction, travel, expenses, meals, and lodging, is $2,167. CIVIC EDUCATION is for EVERYONE, and not just the most privileged. We are dedicated to making this valuable education program available to all students, regardless of financial background. We are bringing a group of students who are dedicated, curious, intelligent, thoughtful, and caring. Knowing that this group of students will be our future makes us confident and hopeful.

Your contribution would be an investment in our community's future by helping our students for this once-in-a-lifetime experience.
