National Commission on Civic Renewal

The National Commission on Civic Renewal was a group established by the U.S. government to examine how American citizens engage in their communities and democracy. Its goal was to identify ways to strengthen civic participation, foster greater trust in institutions, and promote responsible citizenship. The commission assessed challenges like declining volunteerism and civic knowledge, offering recommendations to revitalize community involvement, improve civic education, and support a more engaged populace. Essentially, it aimed to help Americans connect more actively with their communities and democratic processes to ensure a healthy, functioning democracy.
