Citizenship Seminar

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