National Civics Bee

April 16 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

ABOUT THE BEE

The Grand Rapids Chamber is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a civics competition that encourages young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. Participating 6th, 7th and 8th graders will flex their civics knowledge for a chance to win recognition and cash prizes. Finalists will be invited to Washington, DC to compete in the inaugural National Civics Bee national championship in Fall 2024.

HOW TO ENTER

Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student residing in Michigan with an idea about using civics to improve their community may review the rules and submit an essay application.

The submission portal will open later this fall (date has yet to be announced).
