Who we are
In 2024, our team mobilized students across the country, registered voters, encouraged turnout, and grew a meaningful social media presence called Youth for Harris-Walz. We have since rebranded and welcome all interested individuals to get involved.
Youth for Civic Power is a student-led organization committed to expanding civic participation. We engage, educate, and activate people to advocate for themselves and their communities.
We believe in a strong today, a better tomorrow, and a future for all, regardless of political affiliation, background, or identity.
Our logo includes a bald eagle. You might be wondering why? Well, the bald eagle appears on the Great Seal and other national emblems, symbolizing strength, freedom, and independence. Native to North America, it has long stood for courage and resolve.
We are part of this country. Our effort and aspirations belong here, and the American dream is ours as well.
We love this country and are committed to protecting democracy and building civic power for all.
To be a good American is to be a good citizen and to know the power of your voice. Join us to advocate for your community, protect your rights, and amplify your voice in shaping the future. Together, we can ensure that every person feels informed, represented, and empowered to make a difference.
