The Institute

for Civic

Organizing

We are reimagining how people and public institutions in the United States interact. This work centers around providing standardized academic civic organizing products as well as collaborating with public and private organizations to craft solutions that best fit the needs of their constituents. We will innovate our solutions through interdisciplinary social impact research as the needs of communities and the role of public institutions change.
