"Civics is more than a school subject taught from a textbooks, it is a way of life."
-Maurits Acosta, President of Virtutem Populo, Inc.

This is why we dedicate ourselves to inspiring young minds to take an active stance in their communities and to get involved with local government. We believe in the Virtutem Populo mentality, the mentality that one must be the change they want to see in the world.
