Project REAL

Project REAL educates K-12 students about the principles of democracy, law and the responsibilities of citizenship.

We aim to educate students about Nevada specific laws as well as federal laws through interesting and fun activities and curriculum. Our Sequential Education Plan focuses on students in Kindergarten to 12th grade; this way we’re able to impact students lives from all levels of schooling.

Thank you to everyone for making today such a powerful ... now let's get to work!
