PROGRAMS

Five ways we build civic muscle.

Each program is designed around one idea: participation is a skill, and skills grow with practice.

Structured conversations that bring citizens, experts and officials into the same room — on equal footing.

Debate clubs, mentorship and open-mic forums that make civic participation a first language for young Somalis.

Free, open town halls in community spaces where the agenda is set by the audience, not the podium.

Training the next generation of moderators, organizers and community leaders in facilitation and public speaking.

Accessible explainers and community research on democracy, elections and civic rights.
