Civic Engagement Resources

Be the CHANGE! This year's Civic Engagement Week theme highlights student's power to make positive social change through civic involvement. During this week participants will gain a better understanding of the system of immigration and U.S. citizenship. Participants will also have the opportunity to become more informed voters through programs that will not only allow students to register to vote but also to become more informed voters. Finally, there will be opportunities to create change through direct service as well as programs that focus on understanding what in the world CHANGE looks like through civic engagement.
