Description

Support your community at the upcoming Mesa Regional Civics Bee Competition!

The Mesa Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host the National Civics Bee Regional Competition, the annual nonpartisan civics competition for aspiring middle schoolers.

About the Civics Bee

The National Civics Bee strengthens civic knowledge, skills, and engagement among young Americans, as well as their families and communities. Open to middle school students in grades 6th-8th, the competition challenges participants to showcase their understanding of civics for a chance to earn recognition and cash prizes. Through partnerships with chambers of commerce and organizations nationwide, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation hosts Regional and State Bees that advance to higher levels of competition.

We believe a strong nation, economy, and workforce all depend on citizens who are informed and actively engaged. The National Civics Bee helps build that foundation by encouraging civic knowledge and participation nationwide, while bringing communities together to celebrate civic pride.
