Generation Citizen is a nonprofit organization dedicated to expanding high-quality civics education for U.S. students. It partners with K-12 schools to support student-led, inquiry-based learning and advocates for broader, nonpartisan civics education nationwide. By connecting classroom study with real-world civic engagement, the group aims to equip young people with an understanding of government and the capacity to participate in their communities. Its approach centers on community-based civics, where students identify local issues, research diverse perspectives, and work with local stakeholders to navigate civic processes, developing critical thinking and communication skills while respecting different viewpoints. Based in New York City, New York, Generation Citizen positions itself as a mid-sized nonprofit focused on youth civic participation. In March 2026, it announced a collaboration with More Perfect to integrate digital media literacy into experiential civics education and to broaden high school voter registration efforts.
