IGNITING CHANGE TOWARD GENDER EQUITY IN CHESTER COUNTY & BEYOND

March 2026

Happy Women's History Month!

The NextGen Civic Leaders

Vote16 PA participants presented to the CCIU Legislative Council, school board representatives from across the county.

The students shared the history of the Vote16 PA initiative, the work they’ve been leading, and their vision for strengthening youth civic engagement in Pennsylvania. Council members asked questions, and offered suggestions during the meaningful discussion about student voice in education policy.

Moments like this remind us that young people are not just the future of democracy, they are already participating in it. To learn more about this impactful initiative, click HERE.
