Congratulations,
Good Citizens! On March 6, Kids VT and Seven Days wrapped up our second Good Citizen Challenge. Nearly 850 young Vermonters from 78 towns signed up to participate in this interactive civics project! They passed quizzes and completed activities in five subject areas: History, Government, News Literacy, Advocacy and Community Engagement. To complete the Challenge, they needed to earn at least 251 points, which is equal to the number of towns in Vermont.
We’re excited to announce that 215 PLAYERS finished the Challenge, almost three times as many who finished the first Challenge in 2018. We were looking forward to bringing these young leaders to the Statehouse and presenting them with their prizes — until the pandemic hit and foiled our plans. We’re working on making it up to them. Thank you to all of the adult team leaders who made this Challenge possible! You are Good Citizens, for sure.
