Our programs are where our “university” approach really comes to life.

Just like an academic institution, we bring people together to learn from one another, sharpen their skills, and find communities of practice. We connect the curious, the passionate, the do-ers.

Our programs are experiential and transformative — and free. Whether you want to increase youth participation in local government or help rebuild trust and connection in your community, we hope you’ll explore and apply.

After participating in one of our programs, you’ll return home to create gatherings, rituals, and learning experiences for your neighbors. Places where people can learn civic skills and put them into practice, build civic faith in relational ways with others and create new ways of collaborating.
