CiviConnections is a three-year teacher grant program funded by the federal Corporation for National and Community Service and National Council for the Social Studies. From 2003-2006, CiviConnections will involve more than 297 teachers and 7,425 3rd-12th grade students nationwide in linking local history inquiry with community service-learning activities. A team of three teachers can apply for a $7,500 grant to cover their costs for attending a summer workshop, implementing the program during the 2006 - 2007 school year, and attending the 2006 NCSS Annual Conference in Washington, D.C. Dr. Rahima Wade, Professor at The University of Iowa, is the project director. Dr. Wade and Dr. Linda Levstik, professor at The University of Kentucky, will co-facilitate the summer workshops.
