The Power of We Creativity Contest

Civic Learning Week highlights the important role that civic education and participation play in strengthening and sustaining democracy in the United States. As America reaches its 250th anniversary, the need to be civically engaged and strengthen our communities is more important than ever.

The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) believes that young voices have the power to drive change. That’s why we’re launching The Power of We creativity contest, challenging teens across the country to explore, analyze, and share how working together for the common good makes’ communities stronger.

This contest isn’t just about your submission—it’s about empowerment. We’re asking you to think critically and creatively about how civic engagement can be used to address issues in your community along with what role civic learning and service can play in creating a thriving community.

Use your creativity to express your vision for building stronger and more connected communities. Think about how people come together for the common good, what that idea means in your own life, and how civic engagement can inspire real change where you live. Consider how learning, service, and collaboration can help communities thrive—express those ideas in your own unique and imaginative way. This is your opportunity to unleash your creativity and show the world how young people, like you, are building a better future through your art, videos, or stories that can inspire thousands and win you recognition for the change you’re already making.
