Are you ready to vote? Get to know the Center for Democracy and Civic Life

With the 2024 election right around the corner, we wanted to introduce you to the great work of UMBC's Center for Democracy and Civic Life (CDCL). CDCL helps people develop the knowledge, skills, and dispositions to create healthy communities and tackle challenges together. Their work builds from the premise that civic life encompasses everyday settings and relationships through which people can generate the power to shape their world.

The center has tons of resources and events to help you prepare for the election and learn how to become more engaged in your community:
