EDUCATING STUDENTS, BUILDING LEADERS

Kids Voting Mecklenburg is now GenerationNation!

The education-focused nonprofit (501c3) organization, founded in 1992, 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 in the Charlotte area.

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

GenerationNation programs and resources:

• Help students in school, supporting K-12 goals in civics, history and language arts

• Develop effective citizens and leaders

• Increase civic literacy - understanding government, the roles of citizens and leaders, and the impacts of issues, policies and decisions on our schools, city, state, country and world - among students and the adults around them
