Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement

Preparing engaged community members of tomorrow.

Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement (CLDE) work centers around developing students into engaged and active community members. Through education around democratic participation, centering the value of dialogue across difference, and nurturing social responsibility, SA pros focused on CLDE work are dedicated to providing students with the knowledge, skills, and abilities to make a difference in their communities.
