The Sons of the American Revolution (SAR) has a very active Youth Education program.
SAR Booth in Nashville TN
The Cincinnati Chapter of the SAR (CCSAR) has been very successful in volunteering time of its very active Youth Education Committee to work with local school districts to augment the lessons learned in history and civics classrooms.
We believe it is important for our youth to learn and appreciate the rich history of these young United States of America, learn the struggles and the courage taken by our founding fathers and citizens to break free and create a then unheard of form of self government where individuals voted to determine their direction and programs.
Over the years, the Cincinnati Chapter has led the nation in sponsoring youth and educator awards recognition. The past year we sponsored the National Teacher of the Year and numerous national and State of Ohio high ranking participants and winners of the competitions.
Exhibit of SAR Youth Award Competitions
To promote what SAR does, this past weekend the SAR was proud to exhibit at the 103rd National Council for the Social Studies in Nashville, TN. This event was an opportunity to meet with Social Studies and Civics Educators around the country.
SAR staff and volunteers talked with hundreds of people and explained everything this society has to offer and help with the teaching of American history and patriotism.
