CIVIC Guide For Extension Faculty 

CIVIC Guide for Community Leaders

CIVIC is a community-based program that helps people come together to address complex community issues. CIVIC activities provide science-based information and engage participants in deliberative discussions that lead to increased knowledge of the issue, hearing different perspectives, and identifying actions that lead to community solutions. CIVIC builds on the decades of work by the Kettering Foundation and the National Issues Forum Institute, and adds Extension's successful tradition of providing neutral science-based information.
