Civics Unplugged was built to be a youth empowerment ecosystem. Not only do we believe that young people have the power to rethink existing systems – we are dedicated to helping them find purpose by creating new solutions for issues their communities face.
Civics Unplugged is intergenerationally led. Alumni vote to allocate funding to youth-led civic initiatives projects, share resources, and even direct the future of Civics Unplugged.
