Across the country, young people are stepping into leadership in museums, cultural sites, and spaces of their own making. Co-designed by the Civic Season Design Fellows and Youth250 Bureau, National Youth Takeover Day is a moment during Civic Season when they don’t just participate, they lead with our shared history, spark conversation, and help shape what comes next this summer.
