CIVICS4ACTION

The Civics4Action Collaborative (C4A) is based in the Corning, New York area. C4A is dedicated to improving the level of civics understanding, civic engagement, and civil discourse throughout New York's Greater Southern Tier, Finger Lakes, and Central Regions. C4A seeks partnerships with area museums and libraries to form Civics Hubs to help educate, engage and inspire the local communities served by those institutions... Third, the focus of a Civics Hub is local people. C4A understands that many potential Civics Hubs have a small staff, or are run entirely by volunteers. Enter the Traveling Civics Ambassadors Program, envisioned by C4A: Over time, our goal is to make trained Civics Ambassadors available to libraries and museums to help them build out their capacity to implement civics programming. C4A views museum and library personnel as the local programming experts. Effective C4A programming at each Hub will be facilitated by these local experts, with the assistance of Civics..
