A COMMUNITY THAT FUELS CHANGE.
Civics Unplugged is powered by a global, intergenerational community united by a common purpose: To build a brighter future for humanity.
We invest tens of thousands of dollars into our Gen Z community each year, as they launch projects in their local communities.
THE CU COMMUNITY IS...
A GLOBAL FORCE FOR SYSTEMS CHANGE
The CU Community is led by thousands of Civics Superheroes—Gen Z and older—who are committed to bringing their gifts to the table. 1,000 new members join each year by graduating from the CU Fellowship, and pledging to use their skills to build the future.
STRENGTHENED BY DIVERSITY
74% of our community members are women, 70% are non-white, and over 22% are members of military families. As a whole, our community is made up of young people from every U.S. State, Territory, and 47 countries around the globe.
DIGITAL FIRST
Throughout history, humans have harnessed the power of community to support each other and work together to build the future. In 2019, we set out to create that same catalyzing force online.
Together with Gen Z, and utilizing custom digital platforms, an emphasis on shared experiences, and endless dialogue we co-created an online community that empowers young people from diverse backgrounds to make meaningful connections and work to change the world.
INVESTING IN THE FUTURE.
We're dedicated to building a brighter future by 2030. That means investing directly in those who will build it: Gen Z.
In just one year, our youth-led community has deployed over $100,000 directly into Gen Z and launched dozens of projects with partners and communities across the globe.
To date, our projects have impacted over 450,000 people living in America.
