The Center for Character and Citizenship Education
The Center for Character and Citizenship Education engages
in research, education and advocacy to foster the development of character,
democratic citizenship and civil society. The Center focuses on generating and
disseminating both knowledge and research pertaining to how individuals develop
moral and civic character. By providing scholars, educators and social
organizations with the tools they need to contribute to this development, the
Center plays the role of a think tank, offering workshops, consulting, and
professional development. The Center also provides resources and tool kits to
assist educators, parents and scholars in character and citizenship education.
The Center’s core programs include: the Leadership Academy
in Character Education, Youth Empowerment in Action!, Kids Voting Missouri,
Missouri Youth Engaged in Local Government, and the Journal of Research in
Character Education. These, along with other programs, serve hundreds of
schools, educators and students locally, nationally and internationally.
