Strengthening democracy through civic education
Our Mission
CIVIX is a national, non-partisan charity dedicated to enhancing civic education among school-aged youth. CIVIX programming focuses on elections and voting, government budgets, the role of elected representatives, digital media literacy and constructive discussion skills. Our vision is a strong and inclusive democracy where all young people are ready, willing and able to participate.
About CIVIX
CIVIX provides experiential learning opportunities for young Canadians to practice their rights and responsibilities as citizens. Instead of simply studying about their democracy, they experience it first-hand with pertinent issues in real-time.
Our program streams focus on elections, budgets, and fostering relationships between students and elected representatives.
Election programs:
CIVIX coordinates parallel elections for youth under the voting age that coincide with official elections. Student Vote, our flagship program, combines in-class learning, family dialogue, and media consumption with an authentic voting experience.
Since 2003, more than 8 million young Canadians have cast ballots in Student Vote elections.
Non-election programs:
Between elections, CIVIX services classrooms with programs that focus on government budgets, elected representatives, digital media literacy, civic discourse and professional development.
