About

The mission of the Center for Civic Learning & Action (CCLA) is to develop ethical civic leaders who collaborate in the pursuit of just and resilient communities.

Our Core Values

  • Respect: We seek to develop and maintain mutual and equitable relationships with all stakeholders.
  • Shared Goals: We commit to the identification and pursuit of shared goals with our partners.
  • Learning: We believe that civic engagement should be informed by the critical thinking, creativity, and communication skills associated with a liberal arts education.
  • Restorative Practice: We strive to recognize and confront current and historical inequities in our communities.
