Through It's Your America, we provide spaces where young people can discuss real issues, improve their civic fluency, and gain the confidence to take action.
If you're a young leader—or know one—who’s passionate about civic engagement, we invite you to attend an upcoming It's Your America session.

We’re teaming up with @mohaiseattle.bsky.social , King County Library System and Seattle CityClub to help the Puget Sound region build skills for problem-solving, develop consensus solutions, and make an action plan for staying engaged. Register at tinyurl.com/civicgeniuse...

It’s been an impactful year of creating opportunities for action-oriented civic engagement and deliberation.
Thank you for being a part of it. 2025 is shaping up to be even bigger — stay tuned for what’s next!
