About Us.

We know better decisions are made when all voices are heard. We clear a path for young people to use their voices and discover a passion for serving their communities.

Our Mission

at Mikva Challenge is to develop youth to be empowered, informed, and active citizens who will promote a just and equitable society.

Our Vision

at Mikva Challenge is envisioning a stronger, inclusive democracy that values youth voice.

Our Values: We believe

1 By intentionally reaching out to under-resourced communities and schools, we create opportunities for youth to elevate the issues that are important to them and their community.

2 Policymakers make better decisions when youth voice is included in decision-making.

3 Community involvement is an essential experience for young people to have a voice in their future.

4 By remaining non-partisan, we make space for young people to form their own opinions and choose the candidates and issues they want to support.
