How to Activate Your Citizenship in 2019

POWERFUL CITIZENSHIP IN 2019

How will you activate your civic power this year? 

In 2019, Citizen University is your partner in building a culture of powerful, responsible citizenship — a culture where we all know that strong democracy depends on strong citizens. By showing up and contributing to civic life, you are proof that we have the power to make change happen.

Civic Saturday

When you come to Civic Saturday, you know that it is a special place where we can cultivate shared civic purpose in fellowship with others in your community. In 2019, there will be Civic Saturdays all around the country. Check our website to find one near you.
What’s Next: Join us for the Seattle Civic Saturday on February 2nd, at El Centro de la Raza. Also give a warm welcome to Naa Akua and Michael Feldman who have joined the Civic Saturday Seattle team as the Seattle Artists in Residence. Learn more!

Civic Seminary

Is there a Civic Seminarian in your city — maybe it should be you! Through the Civic Seminary program, civic leaders from all over the United States are trained by Citizen University to lead their communities toward a renewed sense of civic power and moral purpose.
What’s Next: Next week, Citizen University welcomes the third cohort of Civic Seminarians to Seattle. If you are interested in participating in Civic Seminary, applications will open later this year.

CitizenUTV

Did you see our 2018 Year in Review episode of CitizenU TV? You can watch episodes on community organizing, working with politicians, being a good neighbor and more.
What’s Next: Did you know that Seattle Civic Saturdays are filmed? If you couldn’t make it to Civic Saturday last year or you want to experience it again, then you can watch all of our Seattle Civic Saturdays via CitizenU TV online.

Youth Collaboratory

The rising generation of young adults are quickly becoming leaders in their communities. Now in its third year, the Youth Collaboratory trains young leaders in the tools of civic power, civic character, and to complete a project in their hometown.
What’s Next: The first meeting of the Youth Collaboratory will gather in February at Pepperdine University, where the cohort will meet with civic leaders from around the country.
