Hands on democracy for young Australians.

Make democracy fun.

Let students speak, vote and lead.

We’re equipping the next generation to ace civics, combat misinformation, lead their communities and strengthen our democracy.

We've empowered students at schools across NSW.

Why build civic knowledge*?

Because civic education spurs civic activity and boosts satisfaction with democracy.

We're going backwards on civic education.

More than 7 in 10 students are failing civics.

Just a quarter of Australians report having learned about civics at school.

If we don't act now, the next generation won't just be less informed - they'll be less free.

Democracy is a contact sport.

We don't do lectures. We do mock elections, parliamentary debates and real campaigns. We bring politics to life so students can stand, speak, debate, vote and lead. With the right tools, young people can have a real say.

Governments act slowly on youth issues and this harms everyone.

The less politicians hear from young people, the more they put off long-term decisions until it’s too late.

Young voices make democracy stronger, not weaker.

We help students build practical plans for real change - which they can start implementing right away. Every month, we connect students with inspiring leaders, experts and decision makers, so they can use their voices - and their votes - to make a difference now, not later.
