Nebraska's Kid Governor®

Nebraska’s Kid Governor® empowers 5th graders to change the world. This ground-breaking approach to civic education immerses students in a real election for their state’s Kid Governor, a fellow 5th grader who will represent them during a one-year term of active leadership. More than a contest and not just about the position of governor, the program teaches important lessons about state government, voting, elections, and civic participation.

Nebraska’s Kid Governor® is an award-winning civics program for 5th graders led by Civic Nebraska and created by The Connecticut Democracy Center.
