Introduction to Civic Engagement with Urban Core Collective

Ever wonder who decides things like where affordable housing gets built or how truck routes affect the air quality in your neighborhood? This interactive workshop with Urban Core Collective explores the local decision-making processes that shape our communities and why getting involved matters. You'll discover how everyday people can participate in driving real change at the grassroots level. This session is designed for teens and adults who want to understand civic systems better and explore ways to take action locally. The workshop runs for one hour at the Seymour Branch of the Grand Rapids Public Library. It's a great opportunity to learn about community engagement opportunities and connect with others interested in making a difference in Grand Rapids.
