The Mission: Constitution Project, Inc., a Florida non-profit, was founded by Joseph Cofield, for the purpose of putting a copy of the U.S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence in the hands of every 5th grade student in Florida. That is a huge task, as there are over 200,000 5th graders in 67 different Florida counties, but progress ​ is being made thanks to Joseph's extraordinary efforts!

The How: Joseph began his mission in April 2014 and since then, many amazing things have happened. To gather support for his mission, in April of 2015 he began his 27 - 67 Journey Across Florida - visiting each of the 67 Florida counties, riding his bike 21 miles and running 6 in each county (one mile for each of the 27 Amendments). That is over 1,800 difficult miles meeting with state and county officials, school personnel and service organizations.

The Results: As a result, last year's 5th graders in 50 counties now have their very own copy of an important 48 page booklet that includes the U. S. Constitution and Declaration of Independence. The students used the booklet at school to expand their knowledge of the Constitution, and were then able to take it home and share it with their families.

Onwards: But there are more students needing these pocket Constitution booklets. The 2nd edition includes not only the U.S. Constitution, but also a "Walk Through the Constitution" study guide, the Declaration of Independence, an index, and a place for students to take notes as directed by their teacher.
