For the last two years, middle school students across Maryland have had a chance to increase their civics literacy, share their thoughts about how to solve a problem facing their community, and compete for a chance to win recognition and cash prizes by participating in the National Civics Bee hosted by the Maryland Chamber Foundation.

Organized in partnership with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation’s The Civic Trust and supported by local chambers of commerce across Maryland, the competition encourages young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities.

Details regarding the 2024 National Civics Bee will be released once available.

 

Why is civics important?

We are hosting the Civics Bee because we recognize that a healthy democracy relies on citizens who are well informed about their history, government and public issues and who are motivated to engage constructively in shaping the vibrancy of public life in their communities, their states and their nation. The business community our Chamber represents understands it has an enormous stake – as well as a unique and potentially effective role to play – in strengthening American civic life.
