Community Voices, Informed Choices

What is CIVIC?

Community Voices, Informed Choices (CIVIC) is a FAMU and UF/IFAS Extension initiative to build capacity for communities to work toward an enhanced quality of life leading to solutions directed at local challenges.

A successful CIVIC program is not a debate or arm-wrestling competition. It is a thoughtful expression of options and why people think some might be better than others. It involves understanding the conditions and assumptions that lead folks to believe different ideas have merit. It helps a community focus on a path of forward movement to help solve problems and invites participants to continue the momentum toward change.
