A student civics experience like no other
Student Senate prepares young people for a life of leadership through engaging real-world experience in the nuts-and-bolts of lawmaking.
In a structured, fun environment that mirrors a State Legislature or Assembly, Student Senators research legislation, introduce bills, absorb pro-and-con witness testimony from recognized experts, offer amendments, and pass or defeat bills as they move through the process.
What Parents Seek for Their Teens
Parents across the country are seeking a place where their teens can actively participate in the democratic process, increase their civic-mindedness, be exposed to alternative viewpoints, and grow and mature. We need to invest in helping young people develop into thoughtful leaders, and Student Senate is where it all begins!
Our Modest Project Budget
Dave Racer has successfully led Student Senate as it has changed students into tomorrow’s leaders for over 21 years. His innovative curriculum is currently being adapted to help others lead their own Student Senates in their communities. By investing in this program, you help fund the complete adaptation of the curriculum as well as our Beta Sites, website development, and project management.
Our total budget for this project is $118,300. As of September 15, 2022, we have raised more than $76,000. Support is needed now to keep us on track for Beta launches in the Spring of 2023.
Your Personal or Corporate Support
Nothing fancy here. Like most fundraising programs, we’ve set up categories—Founder, President, Vice President, Governor, Congressional, and Voters, Patrons, Partners and Supporters.
Whether you can help with $10, $25, $50, $100, $250, $500, $1,000, $2,500, $5,000 Thank you so much.

Other Ways to Help
We are always seeking ways to present the idea of training tomorrow’s leaders today through Student Senate to others across the nation who may be able to support us or run a Beta Site. If you want to have Student Senate in your community or have a platform where we can introduce Student Senates Across America to others, please reach out to us.
Dave would like to hear from you. Email him about your willingness to help organize a Zoom call with interested parties or to invite him to talk with your group.
