Why Minor in Civic Engagement Leadership?

What is Civic Engagement?

Civic Engagement consists of individual and collective actions to address issues of public concern and work to aid in the improvement of a community.

Examples:

Working in a non-profit organization, interning with a service organization, serving in a government office, or leading a food drive. Leadership in civic engagement is the ability to initiate civic engagement opportunities and stimulate civic engagement by others.
