2024 Charlotte Swett Walter Democracy Challenge

The Charlotte Swett Walter (CSW) Glenbard Democracy Challenge took place in the spring of 2024 at Glenbard West and South. A creative competition, the challenge asked students to portray the theme “Gen Z Democracy: Shaping the Future” through music, dance, creative writing, art, video, etc. A $500 cash prize was awarded to a student at both GBW and GBS and the winners presented their entry at the LWVGE Annual Meeting in April. The challenge is named for long-time League member Charlotte Swett Walter whose estate bequeathed funds for use in our educational endeavors.
