From social media advocacy to boots-on-the-ground campaign work, today’s youth are more than just future voters—they’re shaping the present and future of American democracy. With a record-high 53% of voters under 30 expected to turn out in the 2024 election, Millennials and Gen Z are not only making their voices heard at the ballot box but also influencing the policy platforms of political candidates.

We invite you to join the City Club's Youth Forum Council for their first student-led forum of the 2024-2025 school year, where we’ll explore the growing influence of young people in politics and the importance of becoming informed, active participants in our democracy. This forum is designed to equip youth with the tools and knowledge to find reliable information on local and national issues, critically analyze it, and take meaningful action—whether through advocacy, community organizing, or direct participation in campaigns.

By empowering young people today, we are safeguarding the future of our democracy.
