Civic Engagement
At CEDA, we are dedicated to empowering high school students with the knowledge and skills to actively participate in democracy. Our team is committed to creating an annual Civic Engagement Day in every New Jersey high school, providing hands-on civic learning experiences to prepare students for informed civic engagement.

About CEDA
Our Mission
CEDA is a student-led, nonpartisan initiative focused on establishing an annual Civic Engagement Day in every New Jersey high school. We're working to incorporate voter registration simulations, mock election days, and discussions with community leaders into high schools, aimed at equipping students with practical skills for participation in democracy.
Let's teach students how to:
Register to vote
Locate polling sites
Read a ballot
Past Legislation
New Jersey has expanded civics through Laura Wooten’s Law and High School Voter Registration Week, strengthening civic knowledge and registration. But there’s still a gap in practical participation for high school students. CEDA builds on these efforts, complementing, not replacing, them with a hands-on civic engagement day.
