About Us

What is Civic Engagement?

• Learning how to "make a difference" by developing a combination of knowledge, skills, and values that will enable you to improve the quality of your local and global communities.

•   “Civic engagement is an umbrella term used to describe the activities and culture which promote the bridging of communities with socially conscious thought and action. In this way, community service, political activity, service-learning, activism, and advocacy are all different faces of civic engagement that work together to enhance our society by improving our role as citizens.”
