Education standards have changed over time, and today less than 5% of students in Nevada are taught about laws they are expected to follow and their legal rights. Children end up breaking laws they don’t even know exist.
We provide educators with books, lessons, and activities that they use to facilitate experiences about laws and civic excellence to the students of Nevada. We envision a future where all children of the Silver State are taught to understand their rights and responsibilities under the law, and we are working to make that happen.
Working together, we can ensure the futures of Nevada’s youth: One student is served for each $25 Project REAL receives. Your donation has a vital role to play in our ongoing efforts to serve the more than 550,000 students enrolled in Nevada’s schools.

Thank you for letting us watch the civil case! It was cool because it was a real case and not one played out. I had a lot of fun watching the other kids act out a session. Thank you for your time.

Thank you for letting us experience court for the first time. It was the best experience ever, thank you for everything. You really made me think about being a judge. Thank you

My favorite part of the fieldtrip to the courthouse is when I got to play the part of Ron. I got to go on the witness chair and speaking. I helped Potter to be not guilty. Thank you for the great opportunity.
