At the Civics Week’s Youth Forum, you will have an interactive and powerful discussion with a group of your peers from across the city about a pressing issue impacting young people that you believe NYC’s mayoral candidates and other city officials need to address right now. You will get to select two issues that you are most passionate about during registration, including:
- Education
- Racial Justice
- Climate Change
- Immigration
- Mental Health/Health Care
- Jobs & Economy
- Criminal Justice & Gun Policy
- Civil Rights & Civil Liberties
- Gender Justice & LGBTQ+ Rights
- Housing & Gentrification
As part of the Civics For All initiative, Civics Week includes efforts to get every young person to understand that their voice matters and that they can create change as active participants of their community. This event is in collaboration with NYCVotes, YVote, and the NYC Department of Youth & Community Development
There are no upcoming dates for this event.
