About the iCivics Program
Justice Sandra Day O'Connor founded iCivics, a program of the Arizona Supreme Court and the Arizona Foundation for Legal Services & Education in 2009 to reimagine civic education to cultivate a new generation of students for thoughtful and active citizenship. The purpose of iCivics Arizona is to expand the use of iCivics.org throughout Arizona to encourage the development of informed active citizens as civic knowledge is a prerequisite for civic participation.
