Make your voice heard! This month, let’s focus on civic engagement. As a group, we’ll discuss ways that we can give back to our communities and work on special projects. Students in grades 6-12 welcome.

We believe that kids have the power to make a difference in the world. Join us as we learn about local organizations helping those in need. Then, lend a hand with a project that benefits our neighbors. Appropriate for elementary school-aged kids. Space is limited; registration required. 

Mailing a letter to an elected official is a wonderful way to get your voice heard. Join Lighthouse Writer’s Workshop to get your cause on paper. Then, add some eye-catching art to your postcard with a little help from the Clyfford Still Museum. We will provide the stamp and get your postcard mailed. This program is drop-in; come and go as you please. Appropriate for kids in grades 3-7. 

What does it mean to be an American? What holds us together in turbulent times? American Creed (2018) features former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, historian David Kennedy and a diverse group of Americans, all asking themselves whether a unifying set of beliefs can prove more powerful than the issues that divide us. Join us for a screening of this moving documentary, followed by facilitated conversation on American values, the state of our democracy, and the ties that bind us. To help us kick off the conversation, each attendee is encouraged to bring a personal memento – a photo, object or anything that addresses the question: Where are you from?
