Liberty Day

Liberty Day has had a range of exciting and successful experiences with partner individuals who have participated in our Individual Volunteering service project.

Most recently, Liberty Day arranged with two local schools in Colorado for the state’s Attorney General, John Suthers, to stop by and spend an hour talking with the kids about the contents of the U.S. Constitution. New Mexico AG Gary King also did this in September of last year. At the tail end of 2008, U.S. Congressman Frank Lucas spoke to a group of kids at an Oklahoma elementary school in his district, much like Mayor David Casiano of Parker, Colorado and City Councilman Edwin Peacock of Charlotte, North Carolina.

We have orchestrated these and similar visits with community members of all levels—including attorneys, elected officials, and others over the years. It’s truly a wonderful experience, and teachers just can’t wait to bring in a volunteer to talk to their students. Just read what the teachers and volunteers are saying!

“[The volunteer attorney] was awesome! Students really enjoyed a professional in the classroom.” –Vicki Collis, teacher

“My students were never so excited about the Constitution. The activity that we did with Mr. James was fabulous. He was engaging and interesting! We were very happy with his presentation, his positive approach, and flexibility.” –Jeff Davis, teacher

“I feel it enhanced student learning because it offered a real life connection. They were able to see (through the lawyer’s career work) why the constitution is important and why it makes the US unique.” –Erin Northen, attorney and Liberty Day volunteer

	With its wide array of exciting programs and initiatives, Liberty Day doesn’t just partner with organizations; oftentimes, Liberty Day projects take place because an individual—an attorney general, a mayor, a parent—took it upon him- or herself to make a difference in the lives of kids. The beauty of Liberty Day’s Individual Volunteering project is simple: grade school-aged kids normally don’t experience visits from outside speakers. When an attorney, elected official, community member, or anyone else takes the time to talk to the kids, it adds value to the learning experience and really underscores for the kids the importance of the documents they’re learning about. When a guest speaker instructs children, it’s not only teachers telling them about something from 230 years ago—it’s someone else who cares enough to come in and teach. Want to open up the hearts and minds of young people to what it means to be an American? Talk to them about your own passion and pride.
