CivicReflection.org

CivicReflection.org is a web-based resource created in a collaborative effort by the Project On Civic Reflection at Valparaiso University and the Maine Humanities Council's Thoughtful Giving: Philanthropy As Civic Engagement initiative.

The site is a one-stop resource for people and organizations seeking to convene conversations around giving, serving, associating, and leading. At its heart is an electronic "Resource Library" of suggested texts that can help groups with facilitated discussions around the topics of Giving, Serving, Associating, and Leading.

We hope you'll visit CivicReflection.org and spend some time browsing, especially within the library. There is a lot to see!
