California · State Seal of Civic Engagement
Bring the
SSCE to life.
Build a meaningful State Seal of Civic Engagement pathway, grounded in student voice, informed action, and clear evidence of learning.
For California schools, districts, and county offices.
Student voice belongs at the table.
How we help
Put the SSCE
into practice.
You may be starting a new pathway or revisiting one already in place. We can help with the curriculum and learning design, the systems and review process, or both.
Evidence with purpose
Develop clear expectations, student reflection, and evidence of learning that make local review meaningful and manageable.
Implementation that connects
Plan the pathway, prepare educators, and connect advising, coaching, review, and records into a workable local process.
California sets the statewide SSCE criteria; participating local educational agencies determine student eligibility and award the seal. YCN supports learning and implementation. Official CDE guidance ↗
