The U.S. Chamber of commerce Foundation Presents
Although WMC Foundation is not hosting the event this year, the Eau Claire Area Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a statewide civics competition. The National Civics Bee® encourages young Americans in 6th, 7th, and 8th grade to engage in civics and contribute to their communities.
The competition, modeled on traditional spelling and geography bees, gives students the chance to win recognition and earn cash prizes by sharing ideas for improving their communities and showing their enthusiasm for civics.
Students across the state were invited to submit an essay to qualify for the event. Bee participants are selected from the essay submissions.
The winner of the National Civics Bee® Wisconsin State Finals will be invited to Washington, DC to compete in the inaugural National Civics Bee® national championship in Fall 2026.
RESOURCES
The MINI Business World program condenses the core curriculum of our summer program and brings it on-site to high schools across the state. Since its inception, our MINI Business World attendance has skyrocketed as counties from Marinette to Monroe have sponsored students of all studies to participate in the program’s activities.
