Opportunity Details

Civic Circle Discussion Series

Every person has the power to lead, lend support, and take action for causes they care about. How do you show up in and with community? What's your vision for the community? What are you doing to make this vision a reality?

Join Volunteer New York! for a 9-month learning experience that will give you the opportunity to learn, reflect, discuss, plan, and act on affecting change in your community. The Civic Circle Discussion Series program will explore the nine ways a person can channel their efforts to lead a civic life with purpose and intention. Learn more about the elements of the Civic Circle here.

Is this for me?
Want to discuss the full spectrum of ways that you can sharpen your ability to drive change in your community and build a plan to create an impact for the issues that matter most to you? Then yes, this program is for you!

What will I be doing?
Participants will come together for nine monthly virtual gatherings, where we will take a deep dive into one of the nine elements of the Civic Circle using toolkits provided by Points of Light, a global network of volunteer-mobilizing organizations. Each participant will also create a personal action plan that outlines how to direct your civic resources to community issues that matter most.

Time commitment
Monthly cohort gatherings will take place on Zoom from 4-5:30 p.m. on the 3rd Tuesday of each month. The next meeting is Tuesday, September 21st. Participants will have 1-2 hours of pre-work to complete before each session. While we hope participants can join every month, we understand when there is a conflict and you might need to miss one of the meetings. 

Want to join, but the meeting time doesn't work for you? Please email Katie Pfeifer, katie@volunteernewyork.org, letting her know of your interest and suggested meeting time. If there is enough interest to change the time, we will do so.
