ASTC’s Civic Engagement & Policymaking Toolkit

Civic engagement and policymaking, when practiced through a Community Science lens, can improve the quality and sustainability of policy-related decisions, ensure those decisions center community priorities, and build the capacity of all interested parties to advance their goals, address problems, redress inequities, and plan for future challenges. This toolkit from ASTC serves as a guide for organizations to thoughtfully identify and implement ways to nurture civic experiences across their work or deepen ongoing civic initiatives for meaningful change within their communities.
