Empowering CMC leaders of tomorrow by providing opportunities to pursue and cultivate civic knowledge, skills, & inspiration.

Civic Knowledge

Civic knowledge equips students with an understanding of government structures, laws, and historical contexts, enabling them to form informed opinions and engage effectively in civic life. This knowledge is crucial for making educated decisions and advocating for rights and responsibilities within a democratic society.

Civic Skills

Civic skills, such as critical thinking, deliberate dialogue, and collaboration, are essential for effective participation in civic leadership.

These skills help students articulate their views, engage in constructive communication, and advocate for change, enhancing their ability to contribute to their communities and influence public policy.

Civic Inspiration

Civic inspiration encourages students to participate actively in their communities, driven by role models and a commitment to the common good. It fosters a culture of engagement, motivating them to take action on issues they care about, thus promoting positive civic change and strengthening democratic values.
