The Civic Leadership
Project
Practical Civic and Educational
Transformation
How can we work together for the long-term with wisdom, kindness, courage, and creativity to make a better world for all? How can take more responsibility for one another, for our communities, and for our larger world? In the long run, these are our central challenges if we are to survive and thrive as communities and as a democracy. We need to start now by taking practical steps to change our civic culture.
About us
What is the Civic Leadership Project?
The nonprofit Civic Leadership Project provides a practical holistic framework for a city, state or rural community to create a civic culture that can strengthen its civic capacity — its ability to work together to solve collective problems — as well as create a more robust nonprofit sector with the giving, volunteering and sense of community responsibility needed to successfully address the educational, social, economic and environmental challenges it faces.
Our Projects
To paraphrase Martin Luther King, we believe that we CAN learn to live and work together as brothers and sisters to create a better world for all and close the gap between our scientific progress, on the one hand, and our moral and spiritual progress on the other. Our programs are all in one way or another designed to help us as individuals and as communities get past our barriers to working together.

Principles and practices behind our work
Educating the Head & Heart
If we are to elect better leaders and successfully enact and implement better public policy for the long term, the public (including people in positions of power) needs a deeper education of head and heart.
