Why a Civics Challenge?
The main objectives of the League of Women Voters (LWV) have always been to educate citizens about their civic responsibilities and to increase participation in government. By sponsoring a civics challenge, the Newton LWV believes it can also achieve the following goals:
- prepare citizens (both young and old) for their roles as voters
- educate our community about federal, state and, most particularly, local government
- build community on a non-partisan basis
Who Can Participate?
Adults and students in grade eight and above.
Teams of 3 or 4 are permitted. Join with a group or let us find your teammates for you.
