The Campaign funded and worked with eighteen state coalitions across the nation, committed to advancing new policies and practices relating to improved civic learning and youth engagement.

Eighteen state coalitions launched state-specific advocacy action plans to strengthen civic learning policies and practices. Some state coalitions formed taskforces—drawing from the public and private sectors—to implement a shared education policy reform strategy. Other state coalitions supported civic learning by improving K-12 programs, assessment tools, professional development, and student participation in education reform. Taken together, the work of the eighteen states served as a "laboratory" of field experience that will be used in the coming years to clarify and inform the work of the Campaign and its coalition partners.
