Civics Unplugged (CU) is an American nonprofit organisation that operates civic leadership programmes for high school students. The organisation describes itself as having trained more than 6,000 young people from all 50 states of the United States.
Since 2026, it has operated as a youth programme of CU Society, a wider umbrella organisation founded by the same organisation.
History Civics Unplugged was founded in 2017 as a monthly forum in New York City at which high school students discussed various social issues.
The organisation later relaunched to provide fellowship programmes for high school students, led by Gary Sheng, a former Google engineer.
In 2026, the organisation renamed itself CU Society, which describes itself as an intergenerational network. CU became the Society's programme for young people aged 13 to 18.
