Proud of Our Country's Foundation

"Participating in We The People as an elementary, middle and high school student made all the difference in my adult life. Not only did it teach me about professionalism... but it also transformed how I interact with my community and government. I understand the importance of being an informed citizen and the power behind an active citizenry. I strive always to remain involved in my local government and even have professional interests of working for the federal government upon graduation from law school.  We The People has made me proud of our country's foundation and devoted to the continued success of our strong democratic tradition."

Katherine Ntiamoah, a Munster High School We The People alum, recently shared an update.  “The experience I had as a participant and a volunteer for Indiana’s We The People has been invaluable to my personal development and my current career. As of 2011, I received my graduate degree from the University of Denver Josef Korbel School for International Studies.  Currently, I am a Foreign Service Officer (American Diplomat) for the U.S. Department of State. I am preparing for my new position at the American Consulate in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico as a Vice Consul.   “I am eternally grateful for my experience with We The People and I cannot wait to see the next generation of engaged citizens this program produces.”

Visionary Firms

The board, staff and volunteers at the Indiana  Bar Foundation would like to thank the following Visionary Firms for the leadership and committment they have shown to civic education. Without your support, Indiana's 6,000 students who participate in civic education annually through the We The People curriculum wouldn't have a quality competitive experience.
