What We Do
We are transforming how civics is taught by providing real-world 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
Local elections, like those for school board members, impact young people more than anyone else. They have a say in these decisions.
Vote16USA is a national, youth-led campaign to extend voting rights to 16- and 17-year olds at the local and state level.
We provide support to local youth-led campaigns, which have been successful in Maryland and the Bay Area. We’ve also partnered with The Body Shop on their Be Seen, Be Heard campaign to amplify Vote16 nationwide.
