Generation Citizen

Generation Citizen (GC) believes that every young person in the US has the right to an effective action civics education, which provides them with the knowledge, skills, and motivation to be an engaged citizen in our democracy. As its core program, GC inspires civic participation through a Common Core-aligned action civics class that gives students the opportunity to experience real-world democracy. Through student-driven projects, youth learn to effect change by engaging with local government and leaders to solve community problems. The result is passionate, responsible civic participation that will create the more active citizenry and more responsive government of our future.
