What Does Abundance Really Mean?

We’re living in a time when it’s finally possible to build systems that prioritize growth, creativity, and shared well-being. With constant new breakthroughs in technology and our evolving understanding of collaboration, we have a historic opportunity to design a world of expanding opportunity. Civics Unplugged exists to ensure young people are leading the charge by creating the civic and social structures that make this abundant future real, resilient, and human first.

Your Compass to Abundant Change

We don’t just follow another framework – it’s a revolution in how to approach real, lasting civic change rooted in abundance. While the old world celebrates certainty, authority, competition, and individualism, we've discovered a deeper truth: the Four C’s.
Curiosity
We challenge every assumption about how the world “should” work.
Commitment
We approach societal transformation with radical imagination.
Collaboration
As a collective, we generate limitless potential, and exponential impact.
Community
We're not just a network – we're a resilience engine fueled by changemakers.

A GlobalMovement

We envision a world where young leaders are equipped to create innovative solutions to society’s most pressing problems. From local change to global impact, CU is showing what’s possible when we work intergenerationally. Civic innovation is more than a concept, it’s a movement!
