Creating a more modern and robust democracy for all Nebraskans.
About us
Civic Nebraska created a more modern and robust democracy for all Nebraskans. We achieve this through youth civic leadership programs in K-12 schools, civic health initiatives in communities across the state, and ensuring our elections are modern and accessible to all Nebraskans. A modern and robust democracy does not build itself. It takes hard work and dedicated community leaders. It starts on our streets, in our schools, and neighborhoods – and that is where you will find Civic Nebraska.

"Summer, summer, summertime ... time to sit back and unwind ..." NO WAY! Our Lothrop and Sherman summer CLCs have been engaged in June. This week, students made smoothies on a bike – Tyrone from Building Dreams built a bike to pedal backward and make a special smoothie. Students also merged their creative and practical sides by studying, plotting, and building 18-wood-brick buildings. Swim on, Sharks! Keep prowling, Panthers! #LearningNeverStops #SummertimeCLC
