Kids Voting Mecklenburg is now GenerationNation!  The education-focused nonprofit changed its name in December 2011 to better reflect the wide range of educational tools and learning opportunities it provides, and envisions, to positively impact K-12 students and the Charlotte area. We're making a public announcement in January 2012.

Programs educate and engage students in government, leadership and civic life. Current initiatives include K-12 civic education, teacher training, Youth Civics, Youth Voice and the highly successful Kids Voting Mecklenburg election.

Some pages on this website are under construction while we get ready for 2012 and move program content to www.generationnation.org

GIVE STUDENTS AN ADVANTAGE

Students need to know how our governments and communities work. Otherwise, they can't succeed in school and graduate, or become effective citizens and leaders. Yet every day, children and youth face civic learning opportunity and achievement gaps due to trends in education, budget cuts and other reasons.


HOW CAN YOU HELP MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

By supporting GenerationNation, Charlotte's only organization dedicated to K-12 civic education and youth civic leadership. The nonprofit organization (501c3), which changed its name from Kids Voting Mecklenburg in December 2011, connects classroom education with community experiences to help students in school, build civic literacy and develop young people as effective citizens and leaders.
