The Georgia Chamber of Commerce congratulates Kaden J., a middle school civic leader from Fayette County, for representing Georgia at the 2025 National Civics Bee Championship in Washington, D.C. The Civics Bee is an initiative aimed at encouraging more young Americans to engage in civics and contribute to their communities.

Kaden earned his place in the 2025 National Civics Bee Championship after winning the Georgia State Finals of the National Civics Bee, which the Georgia Chamber and the Georgia Chamber Foundation hosted on June 30 in partnership with The Civic Trust® of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation.

Chris Clark, President & CEO of the Georgia Chamber said:

"Congratulations to Kaden for competing in the 2025 Civics Bee National Championship! I was truly impressed by his servant-hearted leadership during the Georgia State Finals, where he offered thoughtful, community-centered solutions for challenges across our state. Seeing Kaden's presentation only strengthened my belief that Georgia’s future is in great hands with young civic leaders like him rising through the Civics Bee."
