Your Voice Still Matters - The Power of an Informed Citizen in Shaping Community Impact

Class - In Person & Zoom | Available (Membership Required)

What role can one person play in shaping a community? More than many people realize. This session invites participants to think deeply about citizenship, service, human connection, and the responsibility we each carry to help shape the world around us. Drawing on lessons from leadership, public service, caregiving, and community engagement, participants will explore how informed citizens can make a meaningful difference through service, advocacy, and civic participation. Through stories, discussion, reflection, and practical examples, attendees will gain clearer insight of how advocacy works and uncover how their experience, voice, and relationships remain powerful tools for strengthening communities and creating positive changes.
