NCB JAX
The JAX Chamber is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a nonpartisan civics competition encouraging young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. Participating 6th, 7th, and 8th graders will flex their civics knowledge to win recognition and cash prizes. Finalists will be invited to Washington, DC to compete in the National Civics Bee® national championship in Fall 2026.
WHY CIVICS?
The JAX Chamber is participating in the National Civics Bee® because we believe that informed and active citizens make for a strong country, a strong economy, and a strong workforce and that our continued prosperity depends on the strength of all three. Through the Bee, we promote greater civic knowledge in Northeast Florida and celebrate our civic pride.
