Did you know that primary elections are being held throughout the country this month? If we want to empower urban youth, it's never too early to start them thinking about civic engagement. I highly recommend introducing teens to
ICivics Democracy Lab, a web-based education project, founded by former Supreme Court Justice, Sandra Day O'Connor. The site contains surprisingly addictive time management games aimed at educating youth about grassroots organizing, our judiciary system and the democratic process. The graphics are hip and fun and the characters represent a diverse range of ethnicities. This is one of the best educational gaming sites for youth I have come across in a long time. Seriously, your teens will love it. Check it out and see for yourself.
