What Does Abundance Really Mean?

We’re living in a time when it’s finally possible to build systems that prioritize growth, creativity, and shared well-being. With constant new breakthroughs in technology and our evolving understanding of collaboration, we have a historic opportunity to design a world of expanding opportunity. Civics Unplugged exists to ensure young people are leading the charge by creating the civic and social structures that make this abundant future real, resilient, and human first.

Your Compass to Abundant Change

We don’t just follow another framework – it’s a revolution in how to approach real, lasting civic change rooted in abundance. While the old world celebrates certainty, authority, competition, and individualism, we've discovered a deeper truth: the Four C’s.
Curiosity
We challenge every assumption about how the world “should” work.
Commitment
We approach societal transformation with radical imagination.
Collaboration
As a collective, we generate limitless potential, and exponential impact.
Community
We're not just a network – we're a resilience engine fueled by changemakers.

Powering a Global Movement in Civic Innovation

Civic innovation is more than a concept, it’s a movement! Civics Unplugged is at the forefront. We define civic innovation as the creation of novel, community-rooted solutions to real societal challenges. From local change to global impact, our Fellows are showing what’s possible when young leaders are trusted to take the reins.

Through our programs, we equip youth with the tools, networks, and mindset to see those challenges not as barriers, but as once-in-a-generation opportunities to lead.
