Constituton Project, Inc.

The Mission: Constitution Project, Inc., a Florida non-profit, was founded by Joseph Cofield, for the purpose of putting a copy of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence in the hands of every 5th grade student in Florida. That is a huge task, as there are over 200,000 5th graders in 67 different Florida counties, but progress ​ is being made thanks to Joseph's extraordinary efforts!

The How: Joseph began his mission in April 2014 and since then, many amazing things have happened. To gather support for his mission, in April of 2015 he began his 27 - 67 Journey Across Florida - visiting each of the 67 Florida counties, riding his bike 21 miles and running 6 in each county (one mile for each of the 27 Amendments). That is over 1,800 difficult miles meeting with state and county officials, school personnel and service organizations.

Time is moving fast for the opportunity to apply for the James Madison Fellowship

January 12, 2017

If you really want to encourage and help a great educator, I would suggest you past this link to the social studies teacher today.

This is not an easy Fellowship to obtain but it is perhaps the most rewarding Fellowship an educator will ever earn.

Check out the details and pass this along to someone he truly cares about learning more about the United States Constitution and sharing that knowledge with the students and our citizens.

One of the best things to ever happen to me was being accepted for the James Madison Fellowship and completing all my requirements and become a Fellow.

It is truly a rewarding experience that life changing!

If you are parent and you observe that wonderful teacher making a difference already in the life of your child, I would encourage you to suggest this to the teacher or principal.

Many teachers are so busy and thinking another thing to pile upon my plate but in reality this is a reward for your dedication and commitment that you have already shown to others; and actually an opportunity to take your game to another level and help even more along your educational journey.
