Civic Engagement Resources
We provide civic engagement resources that connect academic inquiry with civic action and community impact.
These civic engagement resources are designed to inspire and provide practical tools for campus educators to integrate deliberative dialogue, nonpartisan voter education, community-engaged learning, and civic skill-building into curricular and co-curricular activities. Whether developing a single assignment or redesigning an entire course, these materials can be adapted across disciplines and educational contexts.

Our resources are human-centered.
Developed through collaborative partnerships with faculty from our Periclean consortium institutions, nearly 100 additional colleges and universities and partner organizations, these resources reflect our commitment to human-centered relationships and cross-campus collaboration. They represent tested approaches to civic and community-engaged learning that stimulate student curiosity, cultivate civic imagination, and generate the agency needed to reimagine and strengthen democracy.
When used together, our resources create powerful learning experiences that help students understand connections between academic inquiry and civic action—demonstrating how the issues students study relate to their communities, their role as changemakers, and their capacity to create positive change. With these resources, students develop not just knowledge about democracy, but confidence and skills to actively participate in strengthening it.
