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. \nHow to sign up: FREE to participate. Register online by July 31 to receive challenges starting the first week of August.
