Your 5th Graders Can VOTE for the next
Connecticut's Kid Governor!
This fall, thousands of fifth graders across our state will vote in a real
election for the 2022 Kid Governor. Will your school or district be
participating?

Connecticut's Kid Governor® empowers 5th graders to change the world. It is
an immersive, in-school civics program that teaches students about state
government, voting, and civic participation through a real-life election
for our state's Kid Governor. Registered classes can vote in the Statewide
Election, nominate a candidate from their school, or both! Free and
easy-to-use electronic lesson plans, worksheets, answer keys, bitmoji
classrooms, videos from elected officials, ballots, and more are available
to guide educators and students through the program.

The elected student serves a one-year term of leadership alongside a
Cabinet of other 5th graders, inspiring students to make a difference in
their communities.

Governor®, at Brian.Cofrancesco at kidgovernor.org or 860-522-6766 ext.28.

“My daughter was a finalist in her school for Kid Governor and I remember
the passion she came home with, talking about her project. It brought out a
sense of pride and agency in my daughter that I hadn’t seen before.”
- Dr. Miguel A. Cardona, U.S. Secretary of Education
and former Connecticut Commissioner of Education (September 2019)
Kid Governor® is a national award-winning civics program created by The
