More about the Civic Engagement Series

At the Co-op, we believe that strong communities are built through informed, engaged citizens. That’s why we’re hosting Civic Engagement Sessions—a space for neighbors to come together, learn, and take action on local issues that impact us all.

These sessions provide opportunities to connect with organizations working on key community topics, from climate action and sustainability to social justice and public policy. Each session features expert insights, open discussions, and actionable steps for individuals who feel called to. No prior knowledge is required—just a willingness to listen, share, and engage with other community members.
