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 a space for neighbors to come together, learn, and take action on local issues that impact us all. These sessions offer opportunities to connect with organizations addressing key community issues, including climate action and sustainability, 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.

*Minimum of 5 students required to hold in-person class. Refund requests must be made 48 hours in advance of class time.
