Maxwell Citizenship
  • Maxwell Program in Citizenship and Civic Engagement

  • Effective citizenship requires the knowledge of government, social structures, and the specific challenges society faces every day. But that's not all. Citizenship follows, too, from the broadest possible understanding of the forces at work around you and a deep-gut sense of how and where real change happens.

    Citizen isn't just something you are.

    Citizen is something you do.
