Story
Who We Are
Step Forward America was founded by Ted Hollander to promote a national conversation around citizenship, education, and service.
The organization is based on the idea that preparing future generations to participate in democracy requires more than knowledge. It requires engagement, responsibility, and a commitment to contribute to the greater good.
Our approach combines two key pillars:
Civic Education
We advocate for stronger instruction in:
-
Civics and constitutional principles
-
Media literacy
-
American history
-
Current affairs
National Service
We encourage participation in service opportunities such as:
-
Military service
-
Civilian programs
-
Community-based initiatives
-
Organizations like AmeriCorps
This combination helps bridge the gap between knowledge and action.
The Idea Behind It
The foundation for Step Forward America was introduced in Bachelors of Citizenship, where Ted Hollander outlines a vision for strengthening democracy through improved civic education and national service.
The goal is simple: better-prepared citizens lead to a stronger, more unified country.
Why It Matters
A healthy democracy depends on citizens who are informed, engaged, and willing to contribute.
By promoting education and service, Step Forward America seeks to:
- Strengthen communities
- Encourage civic participation
- Support a more informed public
- Foster a shared sense of responsibility
Moving Forward
Step Forward America exists to inform, encourage, and inspire a deeper understanding of citizenship.
Through continued dialogue and education, we aim to help build a stronger foundation for the future of American democracy.
