Empower Lives, Restore Hope with Order of St. George

The Order of St. George is an international charity and a 501c3 in the USA. We are a recognized NGO with consultative status with the UN's ECOSOC and an active member in the UN's Congress of NGO's. Our Mission is three fold: Provide humanitarian aid to refugees worldwide, Support our military veterans, and Foster youth leadership development through the Scouts and other projects.
Youth Development and Support Programs
As a fellow advocate for civic education, I invite you to help provide high school students from across the country with a life-changing opportunity to deepen their understanding of civic responsibility and patriotism. The National Youth Civics Summit (NYCS) is a week long program in Washington DC that equips students with the knowledge, skills and inspiration to become informed and engaged leaders.
"Americans’ participation in civic life is essential to sustaining our democratic form of government. Without it, a government of the people, by the people, and for the people will not last. Of increasing concern to many is the declining levels of civic engagement across the country, a trend that started several decades ago.
Today, we see evidence of this in the limited civic knowledge of the American public, 1 in 4 of whom, according to a 2016 survey led by Annenberg Public Policy Center, are unable to name the three branches of government. It is not only knowledge about how the government works that is lacking—confidence in our leadership is also extremely low. According to the Pew Research Center, which tracks public trust in government, as of March 2019, only an unnerving 17 percent trust the government in Washington to do the right thing.
We also see this lack of engagement in civic behaviors, with Americans’ reduced participation in community organizations and lackluster participation in elections, especially among young voters"
