There are many organizations working to improve civic engagement and education efforts in Indiana. These organizations include many non–profit, educational and government groups whose missions include promoting a strong and engaged citizenry. We mention a few of these many efforts below, recognizing that they are but a sample of the broad array of projects and activities that characterize Indiana's work on civic engagement. The Indiana Supreme Court, for example, runs Courts in the Classroom (CITC). CITC's primary objective is to help educators, students, historians and interested citizens learn more about the history and operation of Indiana's judicial branch. Besides curriculum materials, the program also offers four interactive fieldtrips for students each school year and a two–week summer teacher workshop.

Lawyers in Indiana have been strong supporters of Civic Education. The Indiana Bar Foundation and Indiana State Bar Association have been supporting programs to encourage civic engagement since 1996. The programs administered by the Foundation include We the People: the Citizen and the Constitution, the Indiana Legislative Youth Advisory Council (ILYAC) and the United States Senate Youth Program (USSYP). These programs are designed to engage Hoosier students in the workings of government.

There are many other organizations that support civic education in Indiana including the Center on Congress at Indiana University. The Center on Congress is a non–partisan, educational institution established in 1999 to help improve the public's knowledge of Congress and to encourage civic engagement.

Likewise, at IUPUI, faculty and students in SPEA (School of Public and Environmental Affairs) have built The Civic Literacy Project. It both studies the dynamics of citizenship and engagement and supports projects that may enrich community action.
Indiana Campus Compact supports higher education's efforts to develop students into well–informed, engaged citizens. By providing programs, services, and resources, ICC serves as a catalyst for campuses and communities to improve people's lives through service–learning and civic engagement initiatives.

To promote volunteerism in Indiana there are a number of initiatives under way. In 2005, Indiana created the Office of Faith–Based and Community Initiatives (OFBCI). The Office of Faith–Based and Community Initiatives provides Hoosiers with the online resources necessary to plan volunteering opportunities. The OFBCI provides information, training, technical assistance and limited grant funding to both community–based and faith–based organizations seeking to make Indiana a better place to live for all citizens.(17)

Many other organizations in Indiana promote civic engagement. All of the organizations that support civic engagement are essential in providing necessary services and promoting civic engagement in Indiana.
