Lifelong Civic Learning

A two-week summer experience for high school students who are passionate about making a difference in the world and having an impact on local and global issues.

High school students from across the country participate in a weekend-long global issues simulation and an investigative trip, typically during the winter intersession, to the country or region of interest. Inquiry is part of the Education for Public Inquiry and International Citizenship (EPIIC) program.

Responding directly to workforce demand for leaders who can navigate complexity, engage diverse stakeholders, and advance public purpose within their institutions, this cohort-based program equips leaders with the civic communication skills, ethical decision-making tools, and best practices to drive meaningful impact in mission-driven organizations.

The Institute for Nonprofit Practice is a leadership training organization that equips the most promising nonprofit leaders with the skills, confidence, and resources they need to make their organizations effective, innovative, and sustainable.

This self-paced online workshop explores moral exemplars of World War II, individuals who, in moments of profound crisis, chose humanity and moral courage over silence and complicity. Learners will gain tools to recognize and practice moral leadership in their own contexts, grounded in the lived examples of those who faced some of history’s darkest hours.

This one-week online course is appropriate for those planning to conduct research with under-resourced populations, including academic faculty and researchers, postdocs, graduate students, those with research roles in NGOs or public institutions, and undergraduates working on a thesis or other large research project. 

Talloires Network of Engaged Universities is a growing global coalition of over 400 university presidents, vice-chancellors and rectors in 78 countries who have publicly committed to strengthening the civic roles and social responsibilities of their institutions.
