Founded in 1971, Close Up is a nonprofit, nonpartisan, civic education organization that believes a strong democracy requires active, informed participation by all citizens. Therefore, we seek to serve young people from all communities and all backgrounds, regardless of race, religion, gender, socioeconomic level, or academic standing.  

Close Up’s issue-centric, nonpartisan curriculum gives participants a deeper understanding of history, government institutions, current issues, and the role of citizens. Our goal is to inspire every person to find their voice and to help young people develop critical skills for tackling the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century. 

Esports is a fast-growing non-traditional flexible sport that involves competing via school appropriate video games against other schools within the region. Esports is all about reaching students who have a passion for video games and/or technology. Just like for other sports, students are required to remain eligible, consistently attend practice, & remain committed to the program. Esports teaches valuable lessons similar to traditional sports, such as strong communication, self & team accountability, handling both wins and losses, building friendships and a place of belonging. Not only do more high schools across the state and nation build programs each year, but colleges/universities do as well, which can lead to potential scholarships and future opportunities.
