Middle school students are at an age especially defined by issues of identity, community, and belonging. At its most potent, the synergy of civics and humanities education can offer a path to truly engage middle schoolers, to address real issues in their lives and communities, and help them develop agency and responsibility.

Civics + Humanities Middle Grades Grant Program is a pilot program to fund and support projects which seek to foster the connections between civics and humanities education for California’s middle grades-aged young people (grades 6-8 or ages 10-14). California Humanities invites non-profits, schools, educational organizations, libraries, and other California-based organizations working in the fields of humanities and civics to apply. These grants seek to support middle grades students both inside — and outside of — traditional school settings, inclusive of offsite learning like summer camps, field trips, and more. 

Funding is available in two categories:
