Facilitated School Programs

The Kennedy Institute is offering both in-person and virtual programs, facilitated by Institute staff, for the balance of the 2022-2023 school year, summer schools and camps and enrichment programs, and the 2023-24 school year.

Whether you visit us in-person at the Kennedy Institute on Columbia Point in Boston or join us online, your students will work together to examine and discuss important national issues–including many programs that engage students as “U.S. Senators for a Day” researching, debating, and compromising on legislation to address the major challenges now facing our country. Programs are available Tuesdays through Fridays, and we request that you book two weeks in advance if possible. You can find supporting materials for these programs as well as other classroom resources in our Online Resources library.

To schedule a program, complete our Program Request Form. For help selecting or customizing a program for your student or group, please reach out to studentgroups@emkinstitute.org.

To stay updated on new virtual offerings from the Kennedy Institute, please sign up for our educator’s mailing list.

We also encourage you to explore our teacher-focused social media account @EMKCivics on Twitter and Instagram. We welcome any feedback on how we can make these channels as interesting, relevant, and useful for teachers, curriculum coordinators, librarians, principals, and other educators as much as possible!
