Chicago youth offer public policy suggestion to city leaders through Mikva Challenge.

We are so proud of the Mikva students in Chicago who hosted the Municipal Candidates Forum this past Friday! During the event, students shared policy priorities for their communities and candidates shared how they will address these priorities and support youth voice in local government.

Quote: I was impressed with all of the students who shared very personal experiences that drove their interest in policy. Policy is personal! - Project Soapbox Civic Partner

Thank you to all of our civic partners who show up and support our students.

We believe community engagement is core to a thriving democracy, and that change happens best through communities coming together for a common goal.
