It’s Your America: A Community-Wide Civic Experience
Join us to learn about It’s Your America, a dynamic, participatory event that invites residents to come together for a few hours of fun, connection, and thoughtful deliberation. Participants will engage across differences, weigh policy tradeoffs, and generate community-rooted solutions to shared challenges. Developed with a Hollywood reality show producer, the experience uses board games, team challenges and more to build both civic muscle and better working relationships.
Hear from three community leaders about how the It’s Your America approach can engage every segment of a community and lay the foundation for a stronger civic culture.
