Shaping Tomorrow with Awareness & Responsibility
The STAR Civics Literacy Program empowers individuals to engage with their communities, understand local government, and take meaningful action. Through interactive workshops, participants gain the knowledge and confidence to advocate for change, ensuring that their voices are heard in the decision-making process.
Workshop Highlights:
✔ Understanding Local Government: Learn how policies are made and how they affect daily life.
✔ Advocacy & Activism: Develop skills to influence change, from storytelling for impact to organizing community initiatives.
✔ Hands-On Learning: Practice writing letters to elected officials, drafting petitions, and using social media for civic engagement.
✔ Community Leadership: Discover ways to take an active role in shaping the future of your neighborhood.
Special Partnership Opportunity
For council members and local officials, the STAR Civics Literacy Program offers a unique opportunity to connect with their constituents without the burden of planning. We handle the program logistics while they participate in ways that suit their schedule—whether through a Q&A session, a community discussion, or a youth civic engagement event.
Why Civics Literacy Matters
Statistic: A 2023 study found that only 39% of Americans could name all three branches of
government, yet 70% believe local government has the most direct impact on their lives. Civic
literacy strengthens communities and ensures every voice is heard.
