Close Up Foundation
Close Up's mission is built on the belief that textbooks and lectures alone are not enough to help students understand the democratic process and make it work. Students need a "close up" experience in government. Close Up’s national, state, and local experiential government studies programs strengthen participants’ knowledge of how the political process works, increase their awareness of major national and international issues, and motivate them to become actively involved in the world around them.

| citizenJoe
While CitizenJoe's first aim is to make it easy for busy Americans to get the information they need to take a stand on the issues, it's also an excellent resource for young people learning about the connection between policy and government and for the teachers working with those students.
