National Civics Day is observed every October 27th, aiming to enhance understanding of civic responsibilities and the workings of government. It was founded by the Roosevelt School and the Society of Presidential Descendants to address concerns about declining civic knowledge among students. On this day, schools and community centers buzz with discussions about voting, laws, and democracy, encouraging participation from all ages. Typical activities include hosting community forums, participating in civic education workshops, volunteering for local causes, and creating educational content to promote civic awareness. The day also serves as a reminder of the importance of civic engagement in shaping society, linking modern democratic participation to historical documents like the Federalist Papers.
