National Civics Bee: Kansas State Finals

Kansas middle school students are stepping onto the stage to share bold ideas for strengthening their communities -- and you’re invited to watch it happen live in Wichita.
Join us Saturday, June 27, for the Kansas State Finals of the National Civics Bee®, hosted by the Kansas Leadership Center in partnership with The Civic Trust® and the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation. Finalists from regional competitions across Kansas will test their civics knowledge, answer questions live and present civic ideas to a panel of judges for a chance to advance to the national championship in Washington, D.C.
The event is free & open to the public. Come support the next generation of Kansans engaging with civic life & working to make progress on challenges in their communities.
🏆 Cash prizes and statewide recognition will be awarded to top student finalists.
Regional partners include the Hutchinson/Reno County Chamber of Commerce, Overland Park Chamber Foundation, Pittsburg Area Chamber of Commerce, Salina Area Chamber of Commerce, Topeka Area Chamber of Commerce and Wichita Regional Chamber of Commerce.
