Civic Engagement

Civic Engagement isn’t just about voting or going to a town hall meeting, but truly connecting with individuals and organizations in and around your community. While we offer a variety of opportunities to engage and network at our General Membership Meetings and Coffees with the Collaborative, our Civic Engagement workshops are centered around creating connection and engagement with local leaders and policymakers to continuously improve our communities.

Through our two flagship Civic Engagement programs, Connecting Georgia Veterans (CGV) and Vote Your Voice (VYV), we work together to support and provide shelter for unhoused veterans while combating disinformation through non-partisan educational initiatives.

Civic engagement is the act of working with local institutions and fellow residents to promote meaningful actions, movements, and relationships within a community or population. This can take many forms, from voter registration rates to talking politics with friends or family, and from trusting local businesses to participating in community groups. Some measures of civic engagement are political, some are social, and some are individual, but each reflects something important about a community’s civic health.
