At the heart of Local Civics is a deep belief: informed citizens empower communities. We envision a world in which every person can meaningfully and authentically engage in and with their community. We believe that access to a high-quality education and the opportunity to develop important critical thinking and collaboration skills are fundamental to building strong communities and democratic institutions.
