Professional Development
Our professional development program provides training and civic skill building to expand civic capacity and institutionalize this work on community college campuses across the national. Through workshops, regional summits, and national meetings, our members have professional opportunities to develop skills in civic learning and democratic engagement and to learn from others across the country exchanging ideas on best practices to advance this work. Additionally, online chat forums, provided through our social media campaign, also allow for continuing civic dialogue outside of formal gatherings.
