From leading student elections to testifying before the Supreme Court, teens are proving that they have the power to make a difference in the world. Their stories are inspiring and empowering, demonstrating the importance of youth civic engagement.

Student Elections: A Training Ground for Future Leaders

Student elections are often the first time that teens get involved in formal political processes. These elections provide a valuable opportunity for students to learn about campaigning, voting, and the importance of civic participation.

In recent years, teen candidates have emerged as leaders in student elections across the country. These candidates are running on platforms that address the issues that matter most to young people, such as mental health, gun violence, and climate change.

The 2018 midterm elections saw a record number of young people voting. Many of these young voters were inspired by the activism of teen candidates in the run-up to the election.

Teens Testify Before the Supreme Court

In 2020, three teenagers testified before the Supreme Court in a case that challenged the Trump administration's transgender bathroom ban. The teens, Gavin Grimm, Aidan Jackson, and Wyatt Stewart, shared their personal stories about the discrimination they faced due to their gender identity.

The teens' testimony was powerful and persuasive. The Supreme Court ultimately ruled in favor of the teens, striking down the bathroom ban as unconstitutional.

The teens' victory is a testament to the power of youth activism. It shows that young people can make a difference even on the most complex and controversial issues.
