Generation Citizen

Investing in today's youth is building a brighter tomorrow. Our "Future in Focus: Youth Leading Change campaign empowers the next generation of leaders, innovators, and changemakers. At Generation Citizen, we believe young people are not just the leaders of tomorrow, but they are already making a difference TODAY. Our dedicated educators work tirelessly with schools to ensure students have the tools and support they need to engage as active citizens. We witness young people discovering their role in democracy every day—advocating for change, building their civic knowledge, and amplifying their voices. Your support of our campaign will help us reach even more students. Join us in reaching our $225,000 goal and help us unlock their full potential!

Today is Election Day—a reminder of the power in every single vote cast. Our “My First Vote” campaign (https://lnkd.in/eZfdxYW2) showed the journeys, hopes, and pivotal moments that led our former GC students to the polls. Today, let’s honor the strength of those stories by making our voices heard. Every vote is a step toward a future shaped by the people, for the people. As we cast our ballots, we’re not only deciding on issues and leaders, but we’re also creating a legacy of civic engagement for generations to come. Let’s make today a celebration of democracy in action. Head to the polls, bring a friend, and show what a commitment to change looks like. #RISEVote2024 #ElectionDay #MyFirstVote #Election2024
