Notes de l'éditeur
- Why does it matter if we get young people ready to lead? Charlotte’s students need to learn how their community and governments work, about the key issues, how citizens and leaders collaborate to solve problems – and how young people can make a difference. Current events, education trends, and learning opportunity gaps make that task more difficult…and more important than ever.
- GenerationNation helps K-12 students to build civic literacy and leadership. We do this through a variety of programs that combine classroom education with hands-on experiences – we put civics and leadership into action. GenerationNation programs include K-12 civic education lessons and tools for teachers and the Kids Voting mock election, and the high school programs we’ll hear about tonight Charlotte-Mecklenburg Youth Council and Youth Leadership Charlotte-Mecklenburg.
- GenerationNation is making a difference. Our organization was launched over 20 years ago as an annual mock voting event. In the past 5 years, we decided we needed to do more to educate and engage young citizens and leaders 365 days a year. Voting is just the beginning! In the past 3 years, new youth programming enabled GenerationNation to increase learning opportunities for more high school students. The youth programs engaged 250 high school students through educational sessions, dialogues with community leaders, field trips, and other hands-on experiences. GenerationNation narrows learning opportunity gaps through authentic and transformative civics and leadership experiences.
- The learning opportunities connect students with real life experiences such as discussing actual community issues, ideas, and solutions with leaders. Thank you to the leaders who have worked with our youth this year.
- Youth build skills and knowledge for college, career, and civic life, increasing over the year in Knowledge and interests, government, civic issues, public policy, news, voting, and volunteering Skills and behaviors such as leadership, decision-making, collaboration, analysis, communication, public speaking, and confidence.
- Through our alumni network, we are starting to see a long-term impact. Compared with peers ages 18-29, GenerationNation alumni are much more likely to demonstrate civic leadership, civic engagement, and civic and news literacy.
- Our members are diverse and representative. We attend over thirty CMS and non-CMS schools and live in neighborhoods across the community. We are leaders who care about our schools, our city, our towns, and our county. We advise community leaders, and take an active role to learn about and discuss key issues and understand different perspectives.
- In March, members of the youth council participated in the NC Youth Legislative Assembly in Raleigh. It was a great way to experience the legislative process, learn about different viewpoints and issues, and get to know student leaders from communities across the state. Importantly, we are a valuable resource. Charlotte-Mecklenburg leaders know they can ask for, and use, our feedback to strengthen policies and decisions impacting children and youth. Earlier this year, we hosted a youth summit in which members of the Board of Education, Charlotte City Council, Mecklenburg County Commission, and high school students discussed how we can all work together to make our schools and community strong now and for the future.
- I’m getting ready to graduate. I will look forward to joining the other program alumni in coming back to support student leaders, and seeking future leadership roles. We have a few alumni in the audience tonight, will you please stand? Thank you for being here! Will the other youth council seniors in the audience please join me on the stage? We want to recognize you, too. (As they are coming up talk about your plans…) Next year, I am going to (college) to study/become (field). Seniors, please say your name, where you are going to school, and what you want to study/do. (Give them the mike and encourage them to speak) Congratulations, seniors! (Applause) I can’t wait to see all that our future youth council members will accomplish. Now, we welcome our newest members – let’s learn what they’ve been doing this semester.
