From awareness to action to transformation.
Civic Action Projects broaden Public Allies' impact by mobilizing alumni and local emerging leaders using our leadership development model. Each project builds awareness, develops skills, and ultimately shifts power back to the communities closest to the solutions.
Built on the community engagement and leadership skills that alumni develop through Public Allies, the program goes deeper by investing in training, convenings, and stipend-supported Civic Action Projects that harness the power of alumni as facilitators and organizers.
We believe those closest to the problem are closest to the solution.
- Activating grassroots leaders
- Building critical awareness and values-based organizing skills
- Fostering collective care
