What is Civic Engagement?
“Addresses a concern of the general public, such as large-scale issues; may
not have a clear, single partnership; groups can have many or few partners
who are engaged at a variety of levels; engaged through repeated work in
increasing awareness and advocacy for a goal that improves the quality of
life; not limited to political activities/actions.”
