There are two broad pathways to membership in the Civics Unplugged Community:

1. The Builders:

   • Leaders of Generation Z from across the world, most of whom will have been invited into the community though the Civics Unplugged Fellowship. These are the young "Civic Superheroes" who have the time, passion, and imagination to address the pressing challenges facing humanity.
