As we approach the end of 2023, I am reflecting on the work that motivates me as an educator and identifying what intentions I want to set in another calendar year. With Civics Days happening in Oklahoma, New York and California, I couldn't be more inspired by the change our young people are working to lead in these communities. We offer Generation Citizen #educators ongoing support so students can receive an action civics education. GC educated over 30,000 students and trained over 450 teachers who collectively led over 1200 #ActionCivics projects throughout the school year. And 88% of teachers reported that participating in GC positively impacted their belief that there’s value in sharing power with students. During this #seasonofgiving, we encourage your continued support as we kick off our end-of-year campaign, #Democracy’s Rising Generation. Young people have the most important role in our democracy: carrying it forward. Support us in equipping them to do so.
