Laramie County Library, Cottonwood Room
It takes people of all kinds to shape our communities and our country for the better. Whether you’re a nurturer, defender, connector, or amplifier, your unique Civic Superpower can change the world.
We The People invites high school students from around the state—and the country—to learn the ins and outs of what it means to be an American citizen. They compete to prove their expertise on the U.S. Constitution and the structure of our democracy, walking away with the skills and drive they’ll need as their generation shapes the future of our country.
Join us as local We The People students lead inspiring and energizing conversations with four Civic Superheroes who will share their experiences, give advice, and explore the countless ways we can all unleash our Civic Superpowers! Want to learn your superpower, take the quiz here!
