Civic hubs are local, nonpartisan teams tackling real problems—together.

Action, not just talk. Hope, not polarization.
Let’s make civic health and democracy local again — and better, together.

Last week, we had the pleasure of hosting 45 community leaders at our inaugural Civic Hub Builders Workshop!
The civic hubs that subsequently form from this Workshop have the ability to re-engineer how we live, play, and work together -- ultimately empowering our communities to thrive together!
