Citizenship Seminar

Cognitive Program

• 

  Description

  Volunteers, presenters, and staff will provide seminars for Cognitive Community and Cognitive Therapeutic Community program participants and other returning citizens. The goal of each seminar is to facilitate a section of the Citizenship Journal, increasing participants understanding of their role in our government. The seminars will define civic engagement, educate participants on the branches of government, and finally focus on three communities and the roles the inmates play within each of them. Participants will learn how to apply new knowledge and skills to increase their civic engagement. This journal will also help facilitate the recognition of each individual’s part and the impact their choices make on their neighborhood, community at large, and even the world.
