Speak Up! Speak Out! (SUSO) is a civic education program where middle and high school student teams identify a community issue, research solutions, and present their findings at a Civics Fair for community leaders. Winning teams receive funds to implement their solutions. Teachers can participate in Civics Fairs in person or virtually, and receive stipends for facilitating student participation. The Annette Strauss Institute established SUSO to engage youth in civic participation and address political cynicism.
