About ACT_ONLINE - Active Citizenship Today ACT is a service learning program of the Constitutional Rights Foundation and the Close Up Foundation and funded by DeWitt Wallace-Reader's Digest Fund. ACT takes students through five steps in working on a community problem. Students (1) assess their community, (2) select a problem and research it, (3) talk with policy makers and evaluate policies, (4) examine their options, and (5) take action. Students learn civics by taking part in their communities. Primary sysop is Bill Hayes whayes@ctp.org
