One month away! Mikva Challenge is thrilled to be back at the 2026 @nabtubuilds Legislative Conference for our annual Democracy is a Verb! Celebratory Reception on Sunday, April 19th! We’d like to extend a huge Thank You to NABTU and President McGarvey for their ongoing leadership and partnership year after year. And a special shout-out to the unions, organizations, and firms who have already committed their sponsorship for this year’s event! Your support directly benefits Mikva Challenge as we work with over 300,000 youth and educators annually to develop youth voice, participation, and leadership in communities nationwide. Thank you for partnering with us!

The Delaware Youth Voice Showcase brought together 100+ young people from 4 school districts to share bold ideas for making their communities stronger.

Middle school students delivered powerful soapbox speeches, while high school students presented civic projects they’ve been leading to create change in their schools and communities.

This marks our 7th year partnering with New Castle districts, and every year we are reminded of what’s possible when young people are given the space to lead, speak up, and be heard.

We were proud to celebrate Delaware youth voices alongside community leaders, educators, and elected officials who showed up to listen, encourage, and uplift the next generation of change makers.
