Civic Saturday

About this event

We need ways to build trust, restore civic faith, and move through the challenges of feeling disappointed, scared, angry, checked out, or even hopeless and powerless to impact our communities or society. Many people lack places to connect and reflect on the opportunities, challenges, and responsibilities we need to embrace in public life.

Civic Saturdays, which originated in Seattle in 2016, are an antidote that sparks inspiration, relationship-building, and meaning-making. Civic Saturdays have been hosted across the U.S. in local libraries, parks, museums, and more. They give folks a space to build community with no strings attached; come as you are, get to know your neighbors, and think through how we can build civic character together.

Whether a civic starting point, a refueling station, a spot for sense-making or celebration, Civic Saturdays help break down a sense of separateness and connect our hearts, inviting us to consider what it truly means to “live like a citizen” — and to commit to doing so, together.

Please join us for another Civic Saturday in our community. We’ll have live music from Veronica May, poetry from local community members, and opportunities to connect with your neighbors! We hope to see you there!
