Civics Unplugged ("CU") is a 501(c)(3) non profit that is building an abundant future by training thousands of young people in the principles of civic innovation. Our unique programs equip high school aged students with the education, support, and intergenerational community they need to successfully develop innovative solutions to the problems they care most deeply about. Fellows join a tight-knit community of innovators and unlock access to critical support, mentorship, and opportunities as they pursue a lifelong career in social impact. In addition, the most promising solutions are backed and powered by funding from CU. Our programs and the opportunities we provide help young leaders pursue their purpose, find a network of other bright young leaders, and pursue impactful and financially sustaining career pathways in the civics and social impact space.

The current education system is failing to prepare our country’s next generation to create a brighter future. In schools, we fail to help students be creative or develop entrepreneurial skills. As they grow up, we discourage them from pursuing their passions or taking on meaningful social impact work. Worst of all – we’ve created an environment where young people everywhere feel disconnected from their peers, their voice, and any form of civic agency. We believe the loneliness crisis Gen Zers face spurs directly from the lack of opportunities to do fulfilling civic work in communities across the country – and creates one of the biggest threats to our democracy we’ve ever faced. That’s why we built Civics Unplugged.
