What Does History in Our Hands Do?

We work with Boys and Girls Clubs and programs serving underserved youth to teach engaging history lessons and prepare students to compete in National History Day (NHD) competitions. Our volunteers spend time with kids, introduce them to NHD, and help them turn their ideas into projects. We coach them throughout the process, answer questions, and encourage them to become confident young historians. We believe that when students see history as relevant to their own lives and have mentors guiding them through the competition process, they become invested in learning and gain skills that stay with them long after the competition ends.
