The Roanoke Regional Chamber of Commerce Foundation is proud to host the National Civics Bee – Local Competition. This exciting event is designed to inspire middle school students to engage in civic discourse and expand their knowledge of our government, history, and democracy.

Join us as local student finalists compete in a live quiz-style competition, showcasing their understanding of civic principles and the responsibilities of citizenship. These bright young minds have worked hard to reach this stage, and we invite the community to come out and show their support!

By attending, you’ll witness the next generation of civic leaders in action and celebrate the importance of informed and engaged citizenship. Let’s rally behind our local students as they compete for a chance to advance to the state-level competition!

🎟 This event is open to the public but registration is required. 

We look forward to seeing you there!
