WHY WE EXIST

Civics Unplugged unlocks pathways to purpose for our nations most talented young changemakers.

There are no avenues for young people to experience impact technology or protecting democracy as financially sustainable, exciting, and long-term career paths – making them susceptible to social pressures that incentivize a more traditional (less-impactful) career path.

We exist to show high school students all of the potential ways to unite their passions, social impact, and financial security for life. The opportunities CU provides helps Fellows take the leap and supports them as they fulfill their purpose and change the world.
