We are thrilled to announce the upcoming launch of the Civic Embers Pilot Program, an exciting initiative designed to empower young leaders in both Ukraine and the United States. Developed by leading researchers from top U.S. and Ukrainian institutions, this program offers a transformative experience for students passionate about making a difference in their communities.

Whether you're passionate about making a difference in your school, addressing environmental issues, or standing up for your community, the Civic Embers Pilot Program equips you with the tools to create lasting change. Plus, studies show that young people who get involved in civic activities early are more likely to become the leaders of tomorrow.
