ChallengeUS is proud to announce our acceptance into the Made By Us’ Civic Season Coalition earlier this month. We are fortunate to join 700+ organizations in the fight for democracy and improved civic engagement among younger generations. 

With a focus on self-discovery and civic development, Civic Season, developed by Made By Us, is an inspiring network comprising hundreds of civic leaders from museums, libraries, individuals, and organizations. This year’s Civic Season starts on Juneteenth to commemorate the continued efforts to create “a more perfect union” and ends on July 4th to celebrate the work so far to ensure civil liberties. 

Throughout this period, the coalition and Made By Us serve as an avenue for younger generations to connect to and explore countless stories, groups, and tools to further their civic participation and help fuel our democracy. Civic Season provides a list of hundreds of in-person and online opportunities across the country for youth to participate in. From birding walks in Indiana to guides on hosting community dinners to webinars on historical events, Civic Season demonstrates that there is no one way to be civically engaged.

As a member of the coalition, we have continued our journey in supporting and uplifting youth voices in civic spaces and are excited about our partnership with Made By Us’ Civic Season. We cannot wait to usher in America’s 250th anniversary alongside Made By Us and countless other invaluable groups in the months and years to come.
