What We Do
We are transforming how civics is taught by providing community-based civics education with an equity-centered approach.
We are part of a movement for excellence and equity in civic education.
We build partnerships and cultivate coalitions to advocate for standards and legislation at the local, state, and federal level that support bold investments in civic education.
Generation Citizen Works To:
- Support state-based coalitions
- Foster a supportive, responsive civics education ecosystem
- Promote culturally-relevant democracy education by engaging diverse voices from democracy, civil rights, and education organization, emphasizing youth and educator voices
Key Initiatives
We envision a world where every young person can assess inclusive, representative, and affirming K-12 civic learning opportunities.
Equity in Civics (EIC) is a GC-led cross-organizational, field-building initiative that builds commitment to culturally relevant, K-12 democracy education.
EIC produces research, resources, and toolkits for educators, students, parents, and community members seeking to advance education equity in K-12 education within classrooms and communities at the district and state level.
