The Democracy Commitment (TDC) is a national initiative providing a platform for the development and expansion of community college programs, projects and curricula aiming at engaging students in civic learning and democratic practice across the country.
The goal of TDC is that every graduate of an American community college shall have had an education in democracy. This includes all of our students, whether they aim to transfer to university, achieve an associate degree or obtain a certificate.
Our declaration states our dedication to the cause of democracy in higher education and to make democratic ideals available to all individuals who desire a voice and a seat at the table of local, state and national democracy.
