About Kids Voting New York State

The New York Public History Trust is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit established in 2022 to advocate, support, and encourage history education and historical practice in New York State, both in and outside the classroom, through public and private collaboration.

Our team, comprised of museum, education, and media professionals, is committed to improving social studies education in the state of New York. By working through existing statewide education and cultural networks, NYPHT will bridge the gaps between these often-disconnected realms.

The launch of New York Public History Trust happens as our state and union prepare to mark their 250th anniversaries--naturally, this is our intention. Such a major celebration provides a rare opportunity to seize momentum and attention among educators, media, and the public. 

We seek to serve a critical function in K-12 social studies education statewide, with a mission to create a streamlined network for educators and students to access history and civics learning resources
