Welcome to Citizen University!
Thanks for picking up one of our Little Free Library books — we're so glad you're here!
Citizen University’s mission is to build a culture of powerful, responsible citizenship across the country.
We design gatherings, rituals, and workshops for people who are searching for new ways to strengthen civic culture in their hometown. In our programs, these civic catalysts explore ideas (like power + character = citizenship), pick up new tools, develop connections, and build a renewed sense of civic spirit. They’re sparking new ways of thinking about citizenship, deepening the resolve to take responsibility, and rekindling faith in our democracy and one another.
