Generation Citizen (GC) envisions a country where young people are engaged members of their communities and actively participate in democracy. We believe that every student in the U.S. deserves access to a high-quality civics education that prepares them with the knowledge and skills to understand how government works, think critically about issues that affect their communities, and engage constructively in civic life. GC works to achieve this by partnering with schools to support student-led learning while also advocating for the expansion of comprehensive, nonpartisan civics education nationwide.Through community-based civics, GC provides students with opportunities to explore how government and civic institutions function at the local level. Using a hands-on, inquiry-driven curriculum, students identify issues that matter to them, research different perspectives, and collaborate with local stakeholders to better understand and navigate civic processes. This approach strengthens their ability to think critically, communicate effectively, and participate in civic life in ways that align with their own beliefs and interests.Our student-centered approach equips young people with the tools to engage meaningfully in their communities while respecting diverse viewpoints. Generation Citizen is committed to fostering informed, responsible, and engaged civic participants who are prepared to contribute to a thriving democracy.
