We’re proud to announce that the David Mathews Center for Civic Life recently completed a series of three Students’ Institute workshops at Westlawn Middle School in Tuscaloosa.
One of my favorite aspects of working for the Mathews Center has been developing programming focused on engaging young people in active civic learning. I believe that providing opportunities for young people to build civic skills and exercise civic dispositions is vital to creating and preserving a healthy democracy where citizens are involved as actors rather than spectators or consumers.
