Civic Learning Week highlights the important role that civic education and participation play in strengthening and sustaining democracy in the United States. As America reaches its 250th anniversary, the need to be civically engaged and strengthen our communities is more important than ever.

The National Youth Leadership Council (NYLC) believes that young voices have the power to drive change. That’s why we’re launching The Power of We creativity contest, challenging teens across the country to explore, analyze, and share how working together for the common good makes’ communities stronger.

This contest isn’t just about your submission—it’s about empowerment. We’re asking you to think critically and creatively about how civic engagement can be used to address issues in your community along with what role civic learning and service can play in creating a thriving community.

Winners will be announced during Civic Learning Week,

March 9th – 13th, 2026.

About HOBY

At HOBY, we teach students how to think, not what to think. We believe that in order to create positive change, you must first understand yourself and those around you. Based on the Social Change Model of Leadership, HOBY programs highlight paths toward self-awareness, taking courageous action, authenticity, and connection. 

Our flagship program welcomes nominated student ambassadors to a 3 day seminar taking place at Georgia Southern June 5-7, 2026. Students explore their personal leadership skills and values, and practice those skills while collaborating with diverse groups. They leverage their new abilities as they apply the value of service leadership to make a positive impact in their communities.

At HOBY, we believe all students have the potential to lead. Our seminars bring students together across different backgrounds, cultures, and communities, and are proven to cultivate personal growth and inspire action. Nominating sophomores from your school to attend HOBY is a benefit for both the individual and the community
