Citizenship is an active habit that must be learned and cultivated. If you’re interested in learning skills and values for becoming an effective participant in civic life, join fellow citizens from across the country in Seattle for the Guiding Lights Network’s annual Citizen University conference (formerly The Guiding Lights Weekend). Scheduled for March 23, 2013, Citizen University brings together hundreds of “changemakers, organizers, teachers, social entrepreneurs, and artists from all across America . . . for an exceptional full-day event that catalyzes connection, learning, and action.” The interactive conference features experiential workshops, keynote addresses, and creative collective action to help participants grow in their role as citizens. This is a great opportunity to learn how to “do democracy” and become active in civic life.

Registration for Citizen University is now open. Register today before the conference is sold out.
