Our Programs

Created and Designed Specifically for Community Colleges
The Democracy Commitment was created to address the unique challenges and opportunities that community colleges face in preparing future Americans to be informed, active, and mobilized citizens in their communities, states, and the nation. We offer a series of programs that advance civic learning and engagement while supporting our members valuable connections with national organizations along with a network of American community college campuses that are intentionally committed to democracy for the benefit of their students and communities. TDC's programs are created and designed specifically for community colleges.
Awards and Recognition
