Civic reflection is the practice of reading and discussing short pieces of literature as a means of reflecting on the central questions of civic life.

This simple practice can help citizens talk more comfortably about values, think more deeply about choices, and respond more imaginatively to the needs of their communities.

Civic reflection is now being used by AmeriCorps programs, Rotary clubs, foundations, social service agencies, schools and other civic organizations. Learn more.
