Civic Engagement & Leadership
Your voice matters in democracy. This domain covers voting, community organizing, advocacy, and building leadership skills to create change.
Democracy Requires Participation
Local elections—where decisions about schools, housing, policing, and zoning happen—have lower turnout than national ones. Yet these decisions directly shape daily life.
This domain teaches you how to make your voice heard, from voting to organizing to running for office yourself.
