Kid Governor®

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.

Kid Governor® is The Connecticut Democracy Center's award-winning civic education program for 5th graders. It is a program in residence at Connecticut's Old State House.
