Digital PR Content Writer Jobs in Remote at Hennessey Digital
The Institute for Citizens & Scholars (C&S) aims to help young people collaborate across differences to tackle our country’s toughest challenges. Gen Z is ready to lead, but the places where they learn, work, and live aren’t fully equipped to help them navigate divisive issues such as economic security, climate change, global conflicts, identity, and reproductive rights.
At C&S, we bring together leaders from all backgrounds to transform college campuses, workplaces, and communities into spaces where young people can develop civic skills and build a stronger, more unified America.
Program Goals:
Our newest youth program, which will launch in July 2025, will significantly increase the number of changemakers nationwide by placing civic leaders aged 14-24 in all 50 states and Washington, D.C., by 2026. Over two years, the project will create a national network of 1,000 engaged young leaders. We anticipate these young leaders will reach and inspire thousands of other young people through their projects. In year one, we will recruit 100 teams (500 young leaders).
