Special Projects

Special projects at Citizen University are led by our Labs Team, who are focused on rapidly ideating, launching, and learning from novel frameworks and methodologies that fortify civic participation. 

The participatory happenings we create help people around the country nurture citizen understanding, skills, and dispositions — for themselves and with others.
