At the Center for Civic Values, we envision a society in which all people understand, value and participate in the processes of self-government.

Since 1978, CCV has been the administrator and host of the Gene Franchini High School Mock Trial program. CCV was founded originally in 1962 as the New Mexico Bar Foundation and is organized as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable and educational corporation. Our offices are in Albuquerque, New Mexico; we have program activities throughout the state; and, our educational materials are used in classrooms and mock trial programs across the country.

100% of CCV’s board members have donated money to the organization.

CCV participates in GuideStar©, the online standard for nonprofit accountability; you may review CCV’s GuideStar(c) listing here.
