CIVIC SUPERPOWERS QUIZ
Are you a Nurturer, Defender, Connector or Amplifier?
It takes all of us to shape our communities and our country for the better. Our democracy has been shaped by many hands. Take this quiz to discover your civic superpowers, and explore where your story fits into our history!
The Civic Superpowers Quiz is presented by AMERICAN HERITAGE® Chocolate, the chocolate history people – and the official dessert of Civic Season!
Inspiration in History
Meet Nurturers, Connectors, Amplifiers and Defenders who made their mark in history. Look to the Montgomery, Alabama Bus Boycott of 1956, which required many people to come together to stand up for what they believed in. If the arrest of Defender Rosa Parks was the spark that ignited the movement, then the behind-the-scenes organization of Connector Jo Ann Robinson was the kindling that kept it burning. Georgia Gilmore organized Nurturers to cook and sell food at mass meetings, which fed protestors and helped fund the protest, while Amplifier Martin Luther King, Jr. inspired masses and articulated demands.

The Nurturer
You are crucial for sustaining the marathon of change. Do people need to be fed? On it. Does someone need cheering on? You’re there. You know change can’t happen without community, and you care for and support those around you.
The Connector
Through your contact list and your commitment, you bring people, ideas, and movements together. You don’t just know the right people — you do the work to connect the dots. You are open-minded and make unlikely alliances, helping build the bridges to overcome obstacles and reach the future we envision, together.
The Amplifier
You know how to capture the imagination of everyone around you. With creativity and passion, you can translate ideas, making them interesting and easy to understand. Whether on stage or online, your voice makes progress possible.
The Defender
On the front lines, you keep the movement MOVING. You don’t take no for an answer, and people count on you. You aren’t scared of confrontation or getting in trouble for standing up for what you believe in.
