What was the name of America250’s nationwide student storytelling program?

America’s Field Trip was America250’s nationwide student storytelling program.

The initiative asked students across the United States to respond creatively to the question of what America means to them. It was designed to bring young people into the anniversary and to collect perspectives from students in different regions and communities.

America’s Field Trip formed part of America250’s educational programming. Selected students could receive opportunities connected with historic places and national commemorative activities, turning the anniversary into an experience rather than only a lesson about 1776.

The name can be confused with Our American Story, another America250 storytelling effort aimed more broadly at public participation. America Gives was also a separate program focused on volunteering. These initiatives shared the America250 umbrella but had different audiences and purposes.
