Discovering Justice

Despite civics being essential to strong, connected communities, most students—particularly in high-need districts—lack opportunities for hands-on, inclusive engagement with democracy. Nationally, just five cents per student is spent on civics, compared to $50 per student on STEM, and K–5 teachers report little training or time to teach civics.

Discovering Justice fills this gap by providing experiential programs that connect diverse K–12 students with judges, lawyers, and civic leaders who help them develop critical thinking, collaboration, and leadership skills. This , make a gift to Discovering Justice to help bring civic education to students across Massachusetts. Donate now at https://onecau.se/djgive

Discovering Justice is hosting Mock Trial Final Events across the Commonwealth, giving students the chance to present their arguments on a due process case before community members like you. You don’t need a legal background — just curiosity and a passion for helping young people in your community learn about justice and civic engagement.

At a time when civic education is more important than ever, join us in making a difference!
