National Civics Bee® in Southwest Riverside County
Calling All Middle School Students!
Share your ideas and flex your civics knowledge in the National Civics Bee®.
Are you looking for a fun and engaging way to learn how civics plays a part in your everyday life? Look no further! The business community relies on active professionals to make for a strong economy, and a strong workforce and our continued prosperity depends on both.
Participate in the National Civics Bee® in Southwest Riverside County, presented by the Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber, with support from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation, to become better informed about American democracy and test your civics knowledge for a chance to win recognition and cash prizes!
The Murrieta/Wildomar Chamber of Commerce is partnering with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation to host a nonpartisan civics competition that encourages young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities. Participating 6th, 7th and 8th graders will flex their civics knowledge for a chance 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.
We are hosting the National Civics Bee California State Finals 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 are promoting greater civic knowledge throughout California and celebrating our civic pride.
Any 6th, 7th, or 8th grade student residing in California with an idea about using civics to improve their community may submit their application to participate in the competition. All applications must be submitted by Tuesday, February 3, 2026, at 11:59 p.m. Hawaii Time.
