Join us for an interactive workshop that challenges conventional models of civic learning and change-making, which often reduce addressing complex social issues to volunteering or preparation for disconnected, linear career pathways. These traditional approaches can overlook the nuanced and interconnected processes necessary for long-term transformation. In this session, we will introduce a fresh, holistic model that centers on relationship-building, systems thinking, and co-creation—placing diverse and evolving civic roles within the broader context of social movements. Rather than focusing on simplistic service models, we’ll explore how those in direct service roles can meaningfully collaborate with activists and systems thinkers to drive structural change. Discover how to move beyond short-term fixes and embrace dynamic, cross-sector partnerships that foster more equitable, sustainable outcomes. Whether you're an educator, activist, community leader, or public servant, this workshop will equip you with the tools to think differently about civic engagement and creating lasting impact.
