The Equity in Civics Youth Fellowship is a paid year-long program for students in grades 7–12 to lend their voice to the discussion on equity in civic education. By the end of the program students will be able to:
- Convey their personal narrative and employ lived civic experiences as valuable contributions to the equity in civic education discussion
- Articulate the need for equity-rooted civic education
- Engage adult advocates and allies around youth civic needs from a student-focused perspective
- Leverage communication and advocacy skills developed throughout the program to engage with decision-makers and public institutions to influence outcomes in their community
- Understand the relationship between civic knowledge, civic engagement, and social influence skills as tools necessary to navigating civic institutions
