Mission: Despite
the promises of a government in which all citizens can play a role in
determining the country’s future, a large part of our nation, especially
minority and lower-income citizens, does not actively participate in
our democracy. Generation Citizen exists to change this dynamic.
Generation Citizen empowers underrepresented youth to be active participants in the democratic process.
Generation Citizen leads students to make change in their communities by partnering trained college volunteers (Mentors) with secondary teachers to implement an “action civics” curriculum. Our innovative, action-based program will revolutionize civics education in this country. Generation Citizen is building a new generation of youth activists and leaders, a generation inspired and equipped to make change.
*I came across this organization on the TC website and thought it was awesome. It's inspiring to know people are passionate about working with the underrepresented youth and to support them in becoming an active members of society. I love this stuff.
