Who we are

The Minnesota Civic Education Coalition is a dynamic non-partisan network of people and organizations committed to preparing Minnesota students for lifelong civic participation. We're educators, students, and leaders from both the nonprofit and for-profit sector, all united by the same mission: to see a Minnesota where every young person has access to high-quality, hands-on civic education and service-learning opportunities.

Our Values:

  • Empowerment: We believe in the power of young people to create change.

  • Community: We are dedicated to building strong local and state communities.

  • Equity: We are committed to ensuring everyone has access to civic opportunities.

  • Action: We believe that learning should lead to real-world impact.

  • Voice: We amplify the voices of young people in civic discourse.

Our Mission: To champion civic education and recognize young adults who are actively engaged in learning and activities that strengthen both their communities and our democracy.
