Who We Are
The 917 Society, founded by Joni Bryan, is an innovative education movement dedicated to enhancing civic literacy among young Americans. With a special focus on Constitution Day, September 17, we aim to combat declining knowledge of civic rights by distributing pocket Constitutions directly to 8th-grade students across the United States.
The 917 Society is a group of nonpartisan volunteers dedicated to preserving our Constitution and fostering a love for our country among our youth. We work with 8th-grade classes nationwide, providing classroom materials and personal copies of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights to each student as they celebrate Constitution Day (917). Students are further engaged through essay contests on their love for America and other lasting activities. We hope these young children will carry their copy of the Constitution close and use it as a guidebook to good citizenship.
Strengthening our civic fabric,"one pocket Constitution at a time!"
