Building For Even Greater Success
Two Extraordinary People Join Our Board of Directors
Bill Roberti, Managing Director and Senior Advisor at Alvarez & Marsal
Pete Peterson, Dean of Pepperdine University School of Public Policy
Dear John,

Here at the start of 2023, we are moving into the next phase of major expansion of our efforts to restore the teaching of our nation's history and founding principles from K-12 through college.

As part of our strategic plan, key actions this year include launching statewide K-12 teacher education initiatives in three additional states (Wisconsin, Texas, and Virginia), expanding content-based graduate programs for K-12 teachers, growing our national network of historians, political scientists, and other scholars, implementing a new strategy for growing major campus centers for undergraduate education, and establishing new strategic partnerships with other important institutions to collaborate and strengthen our impact.

To help us reach substantial nationwide scale and tens of millions of students across the country, we are building our board of directors even stronger with these two important new members.

We Need Your Support
The biggest threat to our nation's future is an uninformed citizenry that lacks an understanding and appreciation for our founding principles.
Too many students graduate having never learned about the American political tradition—the history and values of self-government and the freedom it gives each of them to achieve their dreams.

The Jack Miller Center is building a movement of civics teachers, scholars, and concerned citizens who seek to preserve the American political tradition. And we've already reached 1.65 million students from K-12 through college. With your support, we can reach tens of millions more.
Please, join us in the effort. Help grow our network of dedicated college educators. Give K-12 teachers the knowledge, content, and resources they need. Help us restore civic education grounded in America's founding principles and history.

Your donation, large or small, will be a crucial investment in the future of our country. This will be one of the most important inheritances you leave your children, your grandchildren, and their children.
