Imagine if every college student devoted time and talent to democracy’s future!
The Civic Learning and Democracy Engagement Coalition (CLDE Coalition) was created by higher education and policy organizations in response to the serious challenges facing democracy at home and abroad.
There is a vibrant civic learning movement in U.S. higher education. But too often civic learning remains elective rather than inclusive. Working with civic-minded faculty, staff, and institutional leaders, the CLDE Coalition is accelerating the spread of college civic learning, providing evidence on “what works,” and building educational and policy leadership for the movement.
The coalition’s lead partners are the American Association of Colleges and Universities, Campus Compact, College Promise, Complete College America, and State Higher Education Executive Officers.
