Nonprofit Overview
Causes: Children & Youth, Youth Development - Citizenship
Mission: Generation Citizen works to ensure that every student in the United States receives an effective Action Civics education, which provides them with the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in our twenty-first century democracy as active citizens for the long-term. We envision a country of young people working as active and effective citizens to collectively strengthen our American democracy.
Target demographics: We believe that our democracy will work best if everyone participates. Therefore, our current efforts focus almost exclusively on eliminating the civic engagement gap by working with under-served youth populations in both rural and urban environments. We work to demonstrate that Action Civics is a discipline that can be relevant in all school settings and locations with diverse political representation. We feel that we will best be able to achieve our ultimate mission by focusing our current work and resources on eliminating the civic engagement gap.
Direct beneficiaries per year: We have served more than 40,000 students in middle and high schools across the country.
Geographic areas served: New York City; Rhode Island; Massachusetts; Central Texas; Oklahoma; and the San Francisco Bay Area
Programs: Generation Citizen students receive an effective, action-oriented civics education that promotes long-term civic engagement and builds collaboration, communication, and critical thinking skills that students will need throughout their lives. The result is passionate and responsible civic participation that will help create the more active citizenry and more responsive government of our future.
