Civic Roots is a nonpartisan civic participation project that helps people understand how civic life works, recognize where they fit within it, and find healthy, sustainable, and meaningful ways to participate.

Through civic readiness tools, educational resources, local civic mapping, conversation support, and message-based merchandise, Civic Roots works to make civic life more understandable, participation more approachable, and engagement more sustainable.

Whether you are just beginning to pay attention, looking for a way to contribute, already deeply involved, or needing time to step back and rebuild, Civic Roots offers a place to start—and a path toward participation that fits your interests, capacity, community, and current season of life.
