Engaging Citizens: Meeting the Challenges of Community Life

Download Engaging Citizens

Engaging Citizens is a working draft Kettering report that shares what the foundation has learned, largely from communities that have been trying to engage their citizens. This report is addressed to communities that are concerned that too many citizens are distant from, perhaps even alienated from, local politics. Engaging Citizens speaks both to those who are impatient with just talking and want immediate action in their community and to those who believe action isn’t possible without first improving the way citizens relate to and work with one another.
