Civics Day is Generation Citizen's flagship event. It is held one to two times per year across all four of GC's regions. Civics Days give middle and high school students the opportunity to present their Action Civics projects and share their strategic solutions to local public policy issues that are most important to them—addressing issues such as gun violence, mental health, homelessness, and many others. For Fall/Winter 2024, we are hosting Civics Day in Oklahoma City on Tuesday, December 10th and New York City on Friday, January 10th!
