Citizenship Foundation
The Citizenship Foundation
The Citizenship Foundation is an independent education and participation charity (no 801360) that aims to encourage and enable individuals to engage in democratic society. Founded in 1989, our particular focus is on developing young people’s citizenship skills, knowledge and understanding of the law, democracy and public life. We do this by:
• championing civic participation;
• supporting teachers, schools and colleges with the delivery of citizenship education;
• working with young people in community-settings on issues that concern them.
Our mission
We work to build wider understanding of citizenship and to give people the experience and skills they need to play an active part in society. We support individuals, groups and institutions in shaping a vibrant democracy, a fair – and widely understood – justice system, and a caring, robust civil society.
We believe it is our role to campaign for this kind of society.
