What is Civic Health? We define “civic health” as: individual and collective engagement for communities to define and address public problems, and work toward conditions in which all can truly thrive, and which promote democracy.
What is Civic Health Month? A time when over 400 organizations around the country join together to “celebrate, learn, and take action to improve the civic health of their communities.” We’ve taken inspiration from Vot-ER to launch our own Civic Health Month, focusing on our definition of civic health and the issues that matter most in Wisconsin.
What is the Wisconsin Civic Health Challenge? A month of virtual trainings and individual challenges, based in Wisconsin’s Civic Health Report, and connected directly to the issues we care about most in our communities. You’ll grow your civic health muscles and connect with others around the state who share your interest in community engagement, shared problem solving, and democracy. More information will be shared through social media and email in the coming weeks.
How to sign up: FREE to participate. Register online by July 31 to receive challenges starting the first week of August.
