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
