Civic Engagement

The many activities you can participate in to make your community a better place to live, plus related Whittemore Library resources.

But what if the personal IS political?

Non-political actions of civic engagement include actions that do not influence a political or legislative result, but the focus is on direct help in the community. Examples of non-political actions are waste cleanup in the park, volunteering in the hospital, volunteering in the retirement home, cooking for the homeless, organizing charity events for the disabled and marginalized, etc.

Remember, non-political civic engagement starts at home...

Have you participated in any of FSU's student organizations (many of whom include service activities) while here, on campus?
