What is the purpose of a Civic Reflection Training?

Project on Civic Reflection (PCR) Facilitation Trainings help participants learn how to facilitate civic reflection discussions. Civic reflection discussions use short, thought-provoking readings from literature, history, or philosophy to open up important questions in civic life and explore the underlying values and beliefs that drive our shared work in the world. They are relevant to anyone interested in deepening civic engagement, strengthening connection and commitment within communities, and promoting dialogue across differences.

Participants in our facilitation trainings regularly include nonprofit leaders, board members, and staff, volunteers, students, educators, program directors, and many more. We work with a wide variety of civic, volunteer, and service organizations, including national service programs like AmeriCorps and VISTA, colleges and universities including service learning groups like Campus Compact, libraries and cultural organizations, and state service commissions. A complete list of our clients and partners is available here.
