Empowering Youth To Harness The Power Of Their Voices And Be Involved Citizens
The Chamber is participating in the National Civics Bee® because we believe that informed and active citizens make for a strong country, a strong economy, and a strong workforce, and that our continued prosperity depends on the strength of all three. Through the Bee, we are promoting greater civic knowledge in Pennsylvania and celebrating our civic pride.
Please email Benita Rannie, Event Coordinator, at benita@cbicc.org with any questions.
The Chamber of Business and Industry of Centre County is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a nonpartisan 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 National Civics Bee® national championship in Fall 2025.
Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student residing in Centre County with an idea about using civics to improve their community may submit their essay to participate in our local competition.
The application will open in Fall of 2024 and close in the Winter of 2025. We will be announcing the application deadline soon.
